Day 1 Cincy to Xenia, 67 miles
Day 2 Xenia to Columbus, about 60 miles
Day 3 Columbus to Mt. Vernon 50 miles
Day 4 Mt. Vernon to Millersburg 41 miles
Day 5 Millersburg to Akron 68 miles
Day 6 Akron to Erie about 45 miles
I’ve done Millersburgh to Akron in a day with full camping gear, so I’m sure it can be done as a hotel trip, but that is one of the worst stretches for hills. It’s the day with the most miles on roads as well. If I were to plan this trip, I’d look to see where you could stay before you get to Akron to shift a few of those Day 5 miles to Day 6.
