Vero Beach FL to Jupiter FL; 84 km 108 m vertical climb

The day was warm and muggy as we started out this morning.  We were 40km down the road and we had both used 2 bottles of Gatorade already.  At 60km we had lunch and the nice lady gave me a bottle full of ice and water to go. Within 10 km it was warm. The afternoon was hard work as we rode into the wind.  When we hit Jupiter at, 80km, we looked at the clouds and called it a day.  Our hotel was expensive, but it had a hot tub, a lovely view, and endless tea and coffee.  The receptionist gave us a room next to the beach, towels for the hot tub and a Tim Horton’s tea bag.  We were in the hot tub when the rain started.  Now we’re listening to the weather channel and it seems there is torrential rain in the area, with up to 4” in the area just down the road.
