Just giving you a hard time, meant in a friendly way. Your route was longer, plus the additional mileage. I think it being your first tour is what makes it even a greater accomplishment. Long tours are sometimes more of a mental challenge than the physical. Dealing with the mental hurdles is often much harder than tackling the hardest hills on a long tour.
