On my road bike, my position is quite aggressive, but I am completely comfortable on training rides and during races, because I spend so much time generating a decent amount of power. If I go on a 30 minute ride with my kids, where I average 30-50W, my hands and butt are killing me by the time we get back.
+1 One of the mose painful rides I ever did was the "Ride of Silence"
