I rode back up there today. Here's another photo of the same spot at the high point on the road at 8,200', two weeks later:
Two weeks of So AZ sun got rid of a lot of the snow. And the day after the first photo was taken, there was another 12"+ of fresh snowfall.
I rode the 60 miles from home a tad faster today, about a half hour off my total trip time two weeks ago. I took fewer breaks on the ascent, and stayed in the middle chainring on my old 1983 Trek 520. I hope to feel strong enough to finish the ride up to the summit radio towers some month soon.
