I bought a hybrid bike last year and became a weekend warrior. I do around 50-100k every Saturday. I am thinking of buying a carbon road bike, but they can get quite expensive.

Like any hobby it can be as expensive or cheap as you like. My road bike (Cannondale CAAD8 from 2010) is probably worth €200-250, yet gets ridden 10x more than other bikes in the house costing upwards of €7k.

not sure exactly which "hybrid", but my personal recommendation would be to look for gravel bikes. These days there's quite a choice of frames / materials / groupset options and they're as close to a jack-of-all-trades as it gets. Depending on some basic components / extras (tyres, racks, aerobars, bags) they can do almost any reasonable terrain. They're always "slightly worse" than the dedicated road/MTBs, but excel when You'd like to mix things up (e.g. your hilly tracks need some 20km of road to get to from where you live and putting a bike in a car simply feels silly).
