I'll amend the first post with info and what to bring for this ride, eg lights, spares, extra batteries, food, not your mate's "vintage" racer which you've not ridden before etc etc
Somewhere between 66-74gi would make sense for this. I think about 15-16mph avg for this (possibly a little more depending on the strength of the group). It gets kind of cold around 3-4am and I don't want to be standing futzing with mechanicals or going so slow I can't get warm. So nine hours is the absolute upper limit for how long I want to be riding.
I'm thinking train back around 8amish. First Great Western is the train company responsible for the Pewsey-London route. I've had problems with them in the past as they have a bike-specific carriage so consider booking a train back including a bike reservation. It's less of a problem on Saturday but if there are delays having a bike reservation will help with the classic FGW Jobsworth Standard they do so well. Could book a four person group-save if the numbers start to firm up #phrasing
