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.
If I'm going to eat 62 pieces of pie on 09/22/12, I'd better start training now!
