That's why I like my endurance geometry/fit (without a slammed stem). I can ride down in the drops pretty much as much as I want and if I want to take in the scenery can pop up to the hoods. I also find climbing out of the saddle I can go longer in the drops than the hoods. It seems like my weight is more forward when I am in the drops, not sure if that is what makes the difference.
