Just keep it simple. Ride your age. If it gets to be too far to ride, for example, 75 miles in a day, switch to 75 kilometers (46.5 miles) or 75 yards or 75 feet or 75 minutes. Just do 75 of something to celebrate your 75th birthday.
This is a good solution. Do your age in something. Might want to exclude some possibilities however. Personally I wouldn't want to do 62 tombays this October.
