From Indianapolis into central Ohio the terrain remains flat. The route uses numerous paths and rail trails connected by rural roads. Sites to see in Dayton include the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park and the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. Between Dayton and Columbus the Mad River Bikeway, the Creekside Trail and the Ohio to Erie Trail provide almost continuous off-road riding. Columbus is home to the Ohio State University Buckeyes. From Columbus eastward the terrain becomes rolling and you will encounter more forested land.
