What TM said. The ride is pretty mellow. I would say 48x17 would be perfect. The trains back to London are frequent - be sure to try and get a direct to Kings X which is only 45 mins. The fare without any discount for a single is £22. The service is good - big trains, mostly full of chinese tourists wanting to see where the new prince comes from :) so you shouldn't have trouble with bikes - you might just need to split up a bit into a couple of carriages. When you get here, there's obviously the maypole pub. The brewhouse is also a new addition since last year...not far from the maypole and has an awesome beer selection - some made on site. I'm already on a ride that morning but will come meet for beers if you're gonna hang out in town for a bit.
