I grew up in the area. Bike facilities *may* exist (or may have been built in the 3 years since I moved away) but if they do, they'll be well hidden. The local Recreation department would be in charge of paths like what you want, and they'd most likely be a rail trail. Problem is I'm not sure there's any unused track that could be converted *g*.
Use Google maps to check the cue sheet, and if there's lots of "yellow" roads, I personally wouldn't use it. Little or no shoulder and 45 mph traffic is not a good situation for a cyclist who mostly goes 12 mph. The side streets and residential streets should be fine.

I did part of the cue sheet today. It was a nice ride. More hilly than I should have done, given my knee problems. But the roads were nice, the traffic was very light, and the scenery was beautiful. I really wanted to push the tempo, but oh well. Thanks for the help, Torrilin!
