You get more power in the drops because you are able to use those strong glute muscles due to the extemely bent over position. It is also more difficult to hold that position. If I need to crest a short, steep hill very quickly, I'll climb in the drops.Originally Posted by bouncybouncy
In the dropshmmmm...I will have to try that to see how it feels!

To train a dog, you must be more interesting than dirt.

Whew!
I just do whatever is needed to get over the hills/mountains, which means mostly heavy breathing.
