Dude, is that road even supposed to be open?

rasta · April 18th, 2014, 08:48 PM

Are you referring to Red Bluff, CA?

xSean13 · April 18th, 2014, 08:49 PM

Gear would be kind of pointless when you fall off of a cliff.

More like a darwin's ride...weed out all the idiots.

Red Bluff, MS
The Pearl River erodes a few feet each year, this is the second road that's been paved. The third road is about 1/4 mile back and the first is completely gone. It's a hiking spot now and there is a train wreck from the 1920's at the bottom.
Also this is one of the highest points in MS.

I did not enjoy it at all. I hanged back at a moderate speed and just blamed it on the fact I was on a 250.

Sounds like a place I'd love to hike. Especially with that train. Also, I'd blame it on actually having a functioning brain.

But where are your gloves?

I had already gotten off the bike and taken a few pics before this video, they're on the ground in the video if you look closely at the end. I just threw my helmet on for a nice video.

why the hell would anyone speed on a road where the pavement looks like it could collapse taking you with it if you even cross it?

luckily no one on this ride received the darwin award

JohnnyBravo · April 18th, 2014, 09:52 PM

Yikes... Did someone sneeze on your cam, or did you forget to clean off the bugs? Cool vid, but don't expect me riding that road.

N-m · April 19th, 2014, 05:25 AM

What town is this near? I only get the CA place.

Tigerpaw · April 19th, 2014, 05:44 AM

Find a different group to ride with.

This is a place to pull off on the side of the road, not a real road. It's a sight seeing Stop now. This is red bluff in Columbia, Mississippi. There's not much on the internet about it.

I found it. South central MS between I-55 and I-59. I will have to check that out sometime. Thanks.

The road Red Bluff is on is a fun twisty road all the way to Monticello. It's in bad condition but it's safe at legal speeds.
