If you choose the cycling option you will spend hours a day trying to follow all the complex twists and turns that Google comes up with and you will never achieve your 100+ daily mileage goal. You will spend lots of time backtracking and scratching your head thinking "Which turn did they mean? Uh... that road was gravel!"
On just a two week trip from NH to VA, Google Cycling suggestions took me along a gravel "Meadow Road" in NH, over a steep jeep road "short cut" in VT, over a mountain in NY to avoid a short stretch of an easy shouldered highway and it dead ended me on a residential park bike path in MD. All good options if one was out to wander and explore but not if you are trying to knock off 100 miles a day.
ACA has maps from NY to IA that wind around as much as as Google, but each twist and turn is well mapped out along with a written cue sheet. You may be better of with printed state highway maps to keep you on a straight line on shouldered highways and off the dirt to do that kind of mileage and to make sure you pass through towns big enough for re-supply.
