Best route to get from Rundberg/Lamar to St. David's 32nd

Trying to see if there's any good sneak cuts (across the RR tracks) to get on to Red River or tips on navigating the Airport-Koenig/290 intersection.

I'll be riding early - 6am.

Plus look for the least amount of elevation change.

thanks

If you take Georgian/Guadalupe to behind the DPS office there is a short pedestrian/cycle path at the west end of W Skyview Road.   Then, zig zag over to Koenig / Avenue F since there is a light there.  I would get on Duval after that to 32nd.

Do you think it's easier/faster to cross at Skyview than Guad.?  Do bikes set off the sensor there or are the lights set on timer?

Not sure, it's been a while since I went that way.  At 6am you might just stay on Guadalupe.  I was thinking later when getting on less traveled road might be more pleasant.  I guess I would just stay on Guadalupe unless traffic was nasty.
