Grease, how old is too old?

As simple as it is why not repack the bearings,etc.

Six miles in to a ride isn’t the time to find out there’s a problem. In the Army we called it preventative maintenance. Unless you ride the bike thousands of miles a one time service of the bearings will be all you need for as long as you own it.

Yep, I'm voting for a re-grease, as well. It seems the prudent thing to do. It also gives you a chance to more accurately adjust everything as I'll bet the hubs are either too tight or too loose. We got a few of those into the shop I worked at in 1986 and all of them needed some tuning.
