We were up early to beat the heat. It was 82 degrees at 7 a.m. We headed toward the Mississippi River and the new bridge spanning the Mississippi River. We were able to ride our bicycles over the 2 mile bridge before anyone else has had the opportunity to ride on it (opening to cars August 15th). We planned to stop at the casino on the bank of the Mississippi River in Mississippi. We pedaled 22 miles and decided to visit the casino to cool off. I was able to win 30 dollars in just a few minutes and we were cooled down and ready to go when we met Charlotte. She is the casino director and was curious about our bicycles. We told her about our bicycle adventure and she asked us to stay for lunch on her eating from an enormous buffet. It was an amazing meal with a savings of 21 dollars per person. We road away with extra money and a full belly! It was 12:00 when we pedaled away so we were riding during the hottest part of the day. 103 degrees! We only road for 4 more hours and stopped in Indianola, MS.
