Perhaps you should read it as more a question than a dig to you being slow because I was only asking. Take all day for all I care I was only wondering becaue there are only three reasons I can think of for a ride being longer than anticipated. Peaple running late for the start, stopping for a few drinks and a meal, or someone comming off.
