Thanks for all the comments, this is exactly the type of information I was hoping for. It looks like we can have a very busy and productive trip. I love the restaurant suggestions. We are foodies too...
If anyone has other suggestions, feel free to add them.

River Road is an awesome ride. It runs along the Guadalupe River outside of New Braunfels/Gruene. There are lots of campgrounds along the road, too.
I rode Devil's Backbone a few weeks ago and it had a fresh coat of Texas' notorious chip and seal on it. It was a rough ride to say the least
, I had numb hands and arms for an hour afterward. And the road that connects from there to River Road had lots of traffic, even on a cold off-season Sunday morning.
I just camped at Buescher State Park. Lots of highway noise. All night long. Bastrop State Park is the same. I also learned that they don't accept the 50% off camping coupons on a holiday weekend .
The bicycle is the most civilized conveyance known to man. Other forms of transport grow daily more nightmarish. Only the bicycle remains pure in heart. ~Iris Murdoch, The Red and the Green
