    If you feel fine, not too tired afterward, the distance is OK. If you are feeling too tired, consider reducing the distance until it's just a small challenge, then gradually increase.

    This is the same advice, whether 18 years old or 68 years old. I am 66 years old, and cycled 39km yesterday, with some hills. I did not start out cycling that much, but it is easy now.

    Any exercise you enjoy, and can do safely, is good.

    If you are feeling comfortable why are you thinking of reducing distance?
