From Floyd Field on the Blue Ridge Parkway (across from the top of Overstreet Creek Road), you'll go around a gated entrance to a doubletrack climb with orange blazes. Stay on the doubletrack and climb for a ways - this doubletrack turns downhill for a fun, fast ride.
At a gravel road intersection, look for the orange blazes and singletrack straight across. After you cross a creek, begin a bench cut climb along the side of the ridge, which then turns into a bench cut descent after reaching the crest of the ridge. Finally, another fast, grassy doubletrack ends at a wooden bridge at Jennings Creek Road.

      		 Typical backcountry debris, no major obstructions, this section is typically overgrown this time of year...but it ain't this year.

      		Severely overgrown at the top and most of the way down. I wouldn't take anything but a bush hog down this in its current state.
