Where to you come up with that number? In the SE the ride times for LD's 
are calculated the same as for any other distance. II checked a few 
outer rides and the same lookes to be ture. I suspect that is probable 
true at most rides. There may be a few ride managers that are not 
reporting the ride time of LD's correctly. For all I know there may be 
some ride managers that are reporting elapsed time instead of ride time 
for endurance distances. But it is sure not "all" nor do I suspect it is 
even close to "all."
