It was very overcast starting out, this is actually a good thing as temperatures on Flagstaff can get extremely high, and when the gradient kicks to 15% managing your own temperature becomes an issue.
These mailboxes are the agreed upon finish line for the climb.
Heading down again, that speed limit is likely only seen by a cyclist in the middle of tight corners.
That said you had to tip-toe around a lot of the corners due to the amount of salt on the roads from the previous weekend.
Looking at Strava afterward I'd PR'd Flagstaff - clearly riding a 20 year old steel frame is the way forward.
