Also 53 and commute 64km roundtrip each day. It took a while to get nutrition down so I didn't get fatigued but I think I have it worked out now. I just eat all day
Some days I'll ride harder than others depending on how I feel. I usually end up driving one a day a week for one reason or another so usually average 4 days/wk of commuting.
