He'll probably leave you for dust

keep an eye on him and judge whether hes ok to continue no shame in cutting short and heading home early , better that than an injury or putting someone off the sport because its just torture .
sounds like he would be weary legged but capable though
good luck .

Thanks for all the replies. Just to clarify ,the ride he wants to do isnt all on rough trails .Probably about 15 miles is rough the rest is on smooth paths and minor roads.The steepest / longest climbs are in the first 15 then its much easier all the way home.

im 14 now and last year i did a ride similar to this. the first 15 miles were rough trails and then i went and rode an easy trail for about another 15-20 miles. but note that i do that first 15 mile loop every weekend.

Thanks for that,interesting to hear from someone a similar age. We have done a few shorter trails since then and he knows now that he needs to put a few miles in training before we tackle anything too long.
