I’m going to be in San Antonio mid December for a 4 day layover. If I rent a bike; what are the must see’s within a two hour (one way) ride? BBQ, dancehalls, small towns, what have you...

2M Smokehouse is in town. Open for lunch Thursday-Sunday. They're on the Texas Monthly Top 50 List. Not really a ride but good eats.

If you simply want to ride then get on Hwy 16 NW of the city. Stay on 16 N to Bandera- Medina- Kerrville- Fredricksburg, hop over to Luckenbach, then turn around and take the same way back. Take your time and just enjoy a winter ride.
IMO, stay NW and away from IH 35 and 281.
