I really hope I can get my 100 milers to less than ten hours, but I live in such a hilly area. My next one will be on the coast I hope, so maybe I'll be able to do it.No hand discomfort with my M Brommies: I do have short bar ends to use, though. Longest day ride 107 miles in under 10 hours, no hand issues.
This has inspired me and the mrs to check out cheap ways to get to some cities for weekends....megabus, Manchester to Paris...£50 return each....bargain and we can take our bromptons with no worries.I have a colleague who "City tours" with a Brompton
He goes to a large town or City for a few days by train or bus then explores the local environs by Bike before taking public transport to the next destination

Ah but that's from Manchester for usI got the Eurostar then TGV first class all the way down to Biarritz from London and back for £80. My Brompton snoozed away peacefully in the luggage rack, making little puffs of contentment from time to time. It loved cycling across Paris.
