I should share this here...
last weekend I had a group that I've been posting with on my regional board in another forum up to the cottage to tour my home trails. Not knowing their skills, I put together a 30km loop of technical singletrack and some wider stuff with steep climbs and descents.
Turns out that two of them were on single speed MTB's, all were half my age, but as the guide, I got to lead.
And I did good...we had to send one back to the trailhead because he couldn't keep up, the rest thought we had a "blast". Of course they could have ridden me into the ground, but they were a great bunch, non competative, and just out for a good time.
They came back on their own the next day to explore our system further
not bad for an old guy
