are there any other routes... with less hills? I77? or something else.
I plan to avoid I271, very steep hill (Cuyahoga valley)... will use I76E to I77N ...
The flattest route would probably be:
I-65 to Mobile.
I-10 to I-12 to I-55
I-55 north to I-80
I-80 across the lake plain to I-75.
I-75 south to Cincy.
Once out of Georgia and Alabama, this keeps you on coastal plain, Mississippi flood plain, or glacial lake plain until you have to get back into the rolling hills of southern Ohio.
More direct routes (across Tennessee, Kentucky, southern Illinois, Indiana or Ohio) will take you through at least rolling hills with grades of 4-6% that are at least a couple hundred yards long. But you can't even get out of Atlanta without going through that.
