Yet another vote for trekking bars. Riding on the sides sort of mimics riding the hoods of a drop bar, and grabbing the forward position and resting the forearms on the rear gives you a more aero position. Best of all, all the controls and even the grips (if so desired) fit just fine. It may take a little ingenuity; I needed a longer stem and I re-routed my cables (around the stem) more than once while dialing in the best position. Reaching back for the controls soon becomes intuitive. Total investment - about $55 including bars, stem, and tape. Improvement in comfort and performance... priceless!
