The tour route that is not on rail-to-trail sections follows the topography of northeast Ohio, which is mostly mild rolling to flat. There are some segments where you might use your bike gears, but nothing to work up a sweat over. Speaking of sweating - it's optional. You set the pace, starting time, and touring agenda.
