 	This is the only fair way I can see. Giving "Rider X" a completion because
 they're nice people and they had a problem on the trail opens a 55 gallon
 drum of worms. Any extensions to ride time must be applied across the board
 to be fair.

In my thinking, 2 VC's on a TOUGH 50 are NOT enough...we usually have three,
with the middle one often being 45 to 60 minutes.
