If I'm trying to go faster than I could on the hoods (generally due to air resistance in whatever form) then I'll go into the drops, but that's about the only other position I use enough to even be worth mentioning.

Wondering if I'm the only one like this any everyone actually makes use of all the wonderful extra hand positions.
I've never tried to count the number of different hand positions I use ... but the longer the distance you ride, the more hand positions you'll use, just for variety.
