As far as those issues, yes. But they can be countered to a large extent. I've recently gotten to where I can again do the kind of mileage I was doing in my 20's (I'll be 51 in a few weeks). 30-40 mile rides are now routine for me again. I recently did 60 in one day and I think it was not as rough as I recall it being when I last did that sort of mileage at 25. (Perhaps that's the fog of age...)
