If Gandalf would have never went to see Saruman he would go to Bree and meet Frodo and Co. at the Prancing Pony on time. There they would meet Aragorn and all six of them would proceed onto to Rivendell. He would not add any extraordinary haste to his travel because he would not know that the Nazgul were sent forth from Minas Morgul because he learned about the nine from Saruman in Orthranc right when Saruman revealed his treachery.
