We live in Jacksonville, Fl. Flat !! We have the aero bars on at all times. I love them! Great for long rides, or just making speed. I use them a lot on our training rides. Very comfortable. I do use them on the fast group rides too. On point only! Once another bike is in front of us, it's back on the hoods.
They do save your hands for long rides. Like anything new, you will have to get used to them.
If you're getting sore hands these will help. Even if you can only get on them for a few minutes at a time during a long ride.
Good luck!!
