I do a 40 miler at the start of the summer and it is a charity ride. There are all grades of riders on it and all grades of bike. Youngest I have seen was a girl about 8 years old on a single speed with training wheels still on it. She was about 20 yards in front of mum who was struggling along on an "OLD" dutch style bike. There are 10 year old lads doing it on BMX bikes and plenty of older riders on ancient bikes that get pulled out of the shed once a year for this ride. And then there is the London to Brighton that has a few slopes in it over the 54 miles. Once again plenty of older single speed bikes.

Providing you are not planning to ride a great number of hills- Then any distance you want to do is possible. Just make certain you have lights on as it may take you longer to get back than going out.-----Untill you get a bit fitter.
