There isn't any turns... just a very steep little hill. It would be difficult to handle curves in the off saddle position. Although paved... the road is in sad shape. I slide back to keep the weight over the bicycle and I unclip in case the I have to stop. I don't have any trouble with balance. I could track stand the hill if it was a bit less steep (or riding UP it). But the bumps and steepness makes the decent sketchy... and I always unclip one foot when conditions are sketchy in preparation for a stop.
