Here's my position when I'm in the drops. The GPS says 37 mph. This was our ride around Crater Lake, so I was more interested in the scenery than in going fast, hence no aero tuck.

Veronica,

Your picture was so helpful! I tried to look for pics of pros in the drops too but could hardly find any! The best I found was bike fitting videos on youtube but they didn't really go over drops position either

You look like you have a LOT more room than I do in the drops....The funny thing is that I went in initially to have my stem SHORTENED because of back/neck pain (and I felt too stretched out onto my handlebars) but maybe it was the wrong adjustment... Hm, I'm a bit confused now. I wonder if my frame is the right size....
