It's your ride and your safety, so all the rest of us can really do is present a view that might provoke some additional directions of thinking.
I'm personally troubled by the idea of tackling at 35 mph what you described as "
requires a light bunnyhop which does require good timing as you launch upward off the saddle a bit while the cranks are in the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock position" and especially doing so with vehicles following at 35 mph closely behind.
How fast to cars typically go on this road when there aren't cyclists involved?
