Jupiter Condo to Tiki Hut

I left the house and put out moderate wattage to the ride. I can't tell you exactly as my power meter decided to work for all of about 5 minutes and then quit. I rode in the rain yesterday and the rear hub also didn't like yesterday's conditions as it is making all kinds of interesting noises as well?!?! Time for a rebuild!! The PB ride was small and there was a small 7 man move up the road when we saw them. We decided to have some fun and waited for the group, started at the back, and then I slowly bridged up to the break pulling a few guys. We stayed with the front of the field all the way to the inlet where I won the sprint by just coming from the back and powering my way through everyone. We stayed with the break all the way to the south sprint, but no one wanted to pull into the wind..... same old story, so I pulled for a long time and made them work a bit. Todd led out the sprint with a good long ramp up of speed so I followed and just sat on his wheel thinking that we was going to take it, but them one of the wheel suckers decided to stand up and sprint. I should have gone with him and beat him on the line, but I let him go. Mike's ride was small as well, but Grant and a few other fast kids were there so I stayed up at the front the whole ride and stayed out of the draft on the way south. They let me break away solo for a few miles, but then I got caught at a long light and the rolled up to me. A couple of guys attempted to break away going into the sprint, but I chased them down. The last guy did a really nice job and was out there for a long time. It took me a while to catch him. We got swarmed at the line and rolled through well out of contention. I pulled into the wind on the way home and was putting out good power until my back said, "see ya!" at the curve south of the Ritz Carlton. I did pull until the Southern Blvd. Circle, but had to bring the power down. This tells me that it's time to get back in the gym for a little more lower back work. I got soaked on the way home!!!
