Great and to the point. I have cycled most of my life and I'm now 72yrs old and do 25to 35 miles once or twice a week in quite hilly country at a reasonable speed on my 5 year old rim brake Trek Emonda ALR and I'm ok after it. I also go out on some of my cheap old steel bikes most days for around 7 or 8 miles at a casual pace just to keep everything moving as I have arthritis in both hips and find this helps. I suppose you have to do something as you get older and find what works for you and cycling is the best and cheapest way. Keep it up mate.

exactly know what you're talking about. i'm 95-100kg and limited my riding to 60kms max when road riding, but usually just go by time - around 1,5h is enough, after that it's getting boring really fast. mountain biking is quite different - you work in intervals, technical sections and downhills are easier on the body (energy wise). i can do a 4-5 hours trip, up to 900-1000m vertical and although i'm spent, it's not the same as with road biking. and it's no so boring, which is a major factor for me.

Thanks for the great topic. I'm a former road cyclist now on trails. I'd suggest picking your route into wind or steeper hills 1st half. Then focus on a negative split on your return. Use the wind or gravity to get home. Also, I've found longer recovery from high intensity even short bursts. Try to hold 7/8-tens max effort & pay attention to your breathing. Spin those legs freely going downhill helps with recovery. Be aware of your posture & relax shoulders to ease tension, cheers 🙂
