Can I still ride 50 miles offroad?

With the new season here and longer rides planned I thought it about time I upped my miles. I've done a lot of walking over the winter and some shorted mountain biking rides, mainly around 20 miles so I was eager to test myself as I've just tipped over into my 69th year. That and my battle with steroid medication means keeping up the healthy lifestyle.
This video is my not only testing myself but also looking for trails to add to the event I am putting on in June, the Surly100 bikepacking weekend. (Link Below)
You'll see I start my Wahoo GPS in a field at the start of this video, that's the halfway campsite. Fancy entering there's a link below.

Ed your video. Nice Trails.

[@fatride]

I'm turning 61 this year and you are an inspiration for me to continue riding and enjoying the trails.

[@GrahamFootBicycleLover]

Plenty of miles in those legs my boy.

[@bennyhill4228]

now this is something i wanna hear and see, Thank you

[@WiltshireMan]

Good going Graham, I would say the fat bike is ideal for some of those trails. I also suffer from neck ache at the moment. I found your Strava, your doing great for an oldun. Fitter than me I reckon:)

[@GrahamFootBicycleLover]

thanks Sandy, yes getting older, what a pain in the...
We have to use it or lose it I guess. I cxan't find anything better than a fatbike now. I Just love the simplicity.

Excellent video ! very inspiring ! ive just purchased an old Ritchey commando fat bike that came up on Ebay ..looking forward to getting out in this glorious British weather

[@GrahamFootBicycleLover]

thanks, have fun

[@julianhawker7672]

After studying that route you sent me Graham and knowing a lot of it very well as you know. There are a couple of sections that I think you should rethink, as not everyone has our bikehandling and a loaded bike would not be fun in places IMHO.
I appreciate finding the middle ground for all ability's is not easy.

[@GrahamFootBicycleLover]

I just messaged you on whatsapp

[@peter236uk1]

Excellent video

[@GrahamFootBicycleLover]

thank you

[@kevindean9613]

Well done very inspiring! The only thing I'll add is to not take on too much if getting back into things like I did last year & exhausted my leg muscles took a good 6 months to get back on track . Increase millage 10-15% a week Not like I did lol.

[@GrahamFootBicycleLover]

thanks, good advice

[@tonywhite5033]

Well done, I can just about manage 5 miles but onwards and upwards.

[@GrahamFootBicycleLover]

haha, thats the way, slowly slowly catchy...

[@michaelfinn1317]

A lot to be said for knowing where you’re going.
