You noticed I was joking, right?

While I do think ride organizers, myself included, have a responsibility to wait for slower riders to finish, there has to be some limit to that. I always post a time when ride support will end based on a very generous allowance. I have never had anyone out beyond the stated time limit, but at some point I would offer a SAG ride back to the start/finish.
