Our favourite bike ride on the weekends would be in the Chilterns - getting on the train from London Marylebone, you can get of at Wendover, and then the hills get big - for the sake of a 45min train journey, it's fab riding!
There's great forestry commission trails:

I would vote for a leather saddle. Yes, my eyes watered for the first week. It was bloody agony. Then someone told me that I needed to soak the saddle in a bucket of water for an hour, and then go out on a ride on it. Actually, I just did a ride across London in a deluge of heavy rain, and that did the trick.
The saddle completely moulded itself to my anatomy. It's the most comfortable saddle I've ever had. Go on... treat yourself to a Brooks leather saddle...
