Central-East Austin to past ABIA airport

I'm seeking suggestions on a good bike route from central-east Austin to past the ABIA airport (to a point sorta between Lockhart and Bastrop).  I started a route suggestion as outlined below.

I began with the default Google walking directions.  Then I modified it to avoid some high-traffic roads: Burleson Road, U.S. 183, and parts of Route 812.

I'm also going to use an off-street facility mentioned in a previous post for biking to McKinney Falls:  http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?saddr=Ma … 58708&z=14

Thanks for your help!
