Tony, that's a nice looking riding area. The grade on the hill doesn't look too bad, but of course it's hard to tell from a pic as they can be deceiving. I'm curious as to what bars are on your IF, I like the looks of those.
They are carbon fiber bars from IRD (a sponsor). They ride real nice but a big drag is that they don't have any area that is just plain old "round". So you can't put on lights or a bike computer. If you had just one bike I wouldn't recommend them. But for a race bike or a weekend bike they are very nice.

One cool thing is that they slope down to the levers as they go away from the stem; so the position you are in when you'd ride hard on a flat road is more aero. Oh one more thing... they sweep back towards the rider so you need an extra Cm in stem length.
