I feel like I have to be super careful with the Cervelo in contrast. Even if I am needlessly overly protective of it. It feels delicate to me. The Synapse has been great for fitness and 'training' miles.

Here's that Hotter Than Hell Strava ride in 2015. I'm just starting to get back into the mindset of actually getting my mph averages up over distance. I've got a long way to go to get back to that level. Dropping my bars a bit shouldn't hurt. I rode that Hotter Than Hell event with my Synapse having basically a higher bar than the seat though. Maybe I would have been under 5 hours if I were in a more aggressive position idk.
