Route starts at the the bike path near Highway 26 at W. Rotamer Court. The route is largely downhill and on paved bike paths through the city of Janesville. Once you get to Riverside Park, the paved bike path and streets switch to dirt trails at the Devils Staircase Segment. From there, the route continues through the Janesville Schools Outdoor Lab, (JSOL) on dirt trails. This section is where the majority of the elevation occurs. The route ends at the parking lot for JSOL at the end of North Bluebird Trail. (Or run the other direction.)

This starts and finishes at the junction of Main Road and Jail Lane Biggin Hill near to the green with War memorial. This route has been well signposted and the tricky spots are also nicely explained on the local government map. It begins calmly, before it manages to find every hill in the area multiple times. We are not talking gentle slopes, and the last half mile is brutal. There is beautiful meandering trails through woodland and farmland once away from the initial residential streets. You might go the entire route without seeing anyone.
