I was going to suggest that if you want to spend your week gaining riding experience take a trip to the north of England or even Scotland and back. But having seen the weather you are having even this might not be a good idea for an inexperienced rider, riding in poor conditions requires a lot more concentration than in good and an accident is much more likely, I would go with a previous suggestion and fly to Greece, hire a bike there and take to some small, quiet roads.
Alternatively why not actually go on holiday with your family for at least part of it and do the above?
