It makes my riding much more comfortable. Not very aerodynamic but I really don't care. I'd rather not have a stiff neck and numb wrists.
i have the same bike. I am only 63 so I will learn from your advanced age experience.
What stem extension did you get?
So far I am good riding the hoods but I don’t use the drops. If I get more decrepit as I get older I might get an extension.
