The 50 miles is in one shot, takes me about 3 hours with a couple of breaks for a few minutes here and there. In summer I generally do four 50 mile rides in four days and then take a day off. I'm a school bus driver so I have the luxury of summers off and even during the school year I have enough time between the morning and afternoon runs to ride 25 miles at least, so I can stay in shape year-round.
I'm sure you could work up to 50 mile rides if you got there gradually. I'm 58 so age is no excuse! Hell, I have older guys blowing past me all the time, although I like to tell myself they have hidden e-motors in their bikes. FWIW I started riding regularly almost 20 years ago and at the time I could barely do 2 miles.
I'm sure I could, given time. I'm already so much fitter than when I started. But time is the actual problem. I don't have time for three hour workouts plus cooldown. I'm happy if I can do an hour.
