Heading to Kure Beach this weekend with a month to go before Beach 2 Battleship so I need to get a good ride in while I'm there. This will be my first time so I'm not sure what kind of roads I'm working with. Looking at the map worst case scenario I could ride up and down Dow Road but that may be pretty miserable for 4 hours. Also looks like only 1 road out of there, 421, and I'm not sure how bike friendly that is. I realize I'm not far from Wilmington and I'm pretty sure there are some good routes around there. Maybe it is best just to do that? Any locals or anybody with any experience riding down there able to offer any advice? Thanks in advance!

PS - I checked map my ride, didn't see anything, not sure if there are other sites.
