I remember in 2007 I had a Brompton S2L-X, I was in a B&B east of Limerick, Ireland, and my wife was going to be visiting a family member "for an hour". I said I'd head off biking to somewhere west of Cork and ended up doing about 125miles. That is a little of why I'm leaning towards a BWR on a S6L-X, and should end up not needing a M2L-X, because its not that much more weight and you never know when a short trip might end up a long trip
