Alreet Oldbean,
I'd echo Phil's sentiments on the ratio front. I run 48:18 and often ride from home into town (about 10 miles) without issues and I'm an old git and a smoker. There's not many hills in Newcastle, so don't worry. Oh, and as they say in that London, HTFU!
See you soon around Toon or on the polo court ;)
