[Geocaching.com site Extremely slow]

Painfully slow.

[TB in Google Earth in miles?]

I want to see how my TB has travelled so I use the "view in Google Earth" menu from the TB page. It works fine, except that the description says "X has travelled Y miles". Everything else on the Geocaching page is in kilometers (the units that I'm using), so why does it suddenly become miles when transfering to Google Earth? Is there some setting that I've missed?
