Some info on the missions:

When I lived there, 6th Street was the main drag... many little "shotgun" clubs with some of the best music (all genres) pouring out into the street.
Visit Threadgill's for great food... Janis Joplin once played there back in the day.

While you are in San Antonio, google the San Antonio Wheelmen for our ride schedule and join us for a ride. PM me ahead and I'll try to meet you at the start. I try to do one if not two club rides each weekend.
So many options! Thanks so much! Is it May yet?
wackyjacky1: Thanks for info on the ride. I'd heard there was some kind of mission ride there, but didn't really know anything about it.
spazz: Thanks, just the sort of insider info I was seeking!
Trisk: I'd love to ride with you. I wasn't going to include a weekend in my trip. I wanted to miss Memorial weekend and the next one I need to spend getting ready for my summer school dance class. I'll google the Wheelmen and hope there are rides during the week. I'd love to meet you. Any chance you can get in a short ride or something during the week?

Wheelmen rides are only on the weekend, although there is a group called the trailblazers I believe (some retired people). Actually, at that time of year there may be some wheelmen after work rides. Just PM me when its closer and we'll try to work something out, maybe I could cut out of work early one day and meet you for a ride.
There is a ride on Thursday nights that begins and ends at the Bike World dealership in Alamo Heights. It is a casual night ride that goes into downtown San Antonio and back. If you're in SA on Thu., it might be something to look into. Here's some info:

Check out the Austin Chronicle, http://www.austinchronicle.com/
It's the local indie paper and usually lists all the good goins-on.
