Split and remove the unnecessary parts of it with the node tool and Apply Path > Stroke to Path to the remaining part to get a closed shape: Apply to it Path > Object to Path to make the green bike free for edits. Have a big zoom because visually you can get it right only within plusminus 1 screen pixel.Ĭlose the red bike in the Objects panel (do not delete it, you can make an error and need it).

apply Path > Dynamic Offset and move the handle until the offset is visually right.

duplicate the red bike, give the same stroke width as the width of the NC outline and green color.

It covers the whole bike, but the extras can be cut off: In my next image the green curve is that offset path. I skip it and make the offset path visually. Unfortunately it's not possible to input (B-R)/2 easily anywhere as a number, it needs SVG code manipulation. The offset is (B-R)/2 where B is the width of the NC outline and R is the red stroke width. The new midline for the NC outline at the problem areas can be got by making an offset path for the red bike. The interior edge of the new NC outline should meet exactly the interior edge of the red bike stroke in the problem areas: I guess only a piece against north-east Tennessee and Virginia border actually need the fix, the southern overlaps can be omitted.

The white interior of the bike must become totally free, but the new NC outline must be as wide as it originally was and it must not be moved more than the absolute minimum. The red bike is a single stroke curve with no fill, it's drawn (or made as Offset) to be the reference how much and where the NC outline should be bent outwards. Only the northern border against Virginia is simple, all other parts are full of nodes.

The NC state outline isn't a curve, but a filled closed shape which has no stroke.

I guess your NC outline and the red bike outline are something like this:
