As I am sure you are aware there are a ton of cyclists in your area. I get down to Austin to visit my mother at least once a year and I love to ride while I am there. Tons of group rides so I would suggest finding a group ride that fits your abilities and meet some other roadies.

Have fun and maybe you will join the next BF group ride I get together when I come down (we just did this in Oct when I was there for the Livestrong ride).
