Austin Cycling Association has a good ride just south of DS called "Mt Gainer's Goners" but I don't recommend going all the way into Wimberley because that's another very unfriendly place for cyclists. Stay on the county roads and it's pretty enjoyable.

You can also ride Fitzhugh Road out to Johnson City, but don't go east of Ranch Road 12 because there's too much traffic on that portion. The farther away from DS you get, the better the road is as far as having less cars goes. Be sure to walk your bike across the low water crossing though, it gets really slimy. Unfortunately the low water crossing is right at the bottom of a screaming descent, but such is life.
