I've only got a full suspension mountain bike (heavy) and tried going on some longer rides last summer. I had a couple different loops between 20 - 25 miles that would take 2 - 2 1/2 hours. Average speed of 10 mph. That's pretty freakin' slow.
Recently I've been out way more on the full suspension MTB... gotta get new cogs for the road, so it waits.

I used to only mtb and was "against" the road... first time I got on a road bike it felt so fast, it was an awesome feeling compared to riding a mtb on the road.
Try it and you'll see the difference... but don't pedal too hard, you might just wheelie yourself off the bike

And going the other direction - I almost bucked myself off my mtb after a long stint of road riding - those hydraulic disc brakes are much grabbier
