Most of this route will help you (this was my old commute from 
Clarksville, i.e. Enfield area, to Riata.). Get to Shoal Creek Blvd and 
then follow the remainder of the route from there.

The transition from Old Jollyville to New Jollyville is still a pain in 
the ass - if you want to avoid the big hill, you can walk/carry the bike 
through the grass at 360/Old Jollyville and save some time and sweat.

The short portion on the 183-frontage road sounds scary but is actually 
not bad at all. Much less stressful than most of Jollyville.
