Took my checkride a few weeks ago. While I was nervous, it went very well. Oral was about 2 1/2 hours and flight portion was about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Greased all my landings (which I have never done consecutively). On my engine out emergency decent, we actually landed at a grass airstrip. So glad...
I'm 52 and just about 3/4 of the way thru my PPL training. All of it has been in a tail wheel so far. I'm at about 35 hours total. Hope to purchase my own plane and log some adventures!
