Yeah, I might have been okay with waiting just a little bit longer, but we were on a pretty strict time schedule for once. We were going to ride up through the canyons and such in the West Lake Hills at dusk. You don't want to be up there on a scooter after dark as those roads are very narrow, steep, curvy, and gravelly (gravel on a scooter can get you killed). Not to mention there are 10 million people driving giant SUV's who yap on their cell phones nearly killing everyone around them. So we really had to leave. Maybe it taught our group leader a lesson, though: BE ON TIME!!
