The purpose of writing a list is to commit yourself to DOING something. There's nothing wrong about that.
No offense...... but why would those items be on a before I die (kick the bucket) list? Ride a century... or take a backpacking vacation isn't something you need to wait till your 80 to turn your attention towards. Those are things that might even be difficult to accomplish.... on a "last list". And no doubt about it... a bucket list is a last list.

If your safety... was no longer a consideration. If your being here to provide, to help, support, was not going to be a consideration in the near future. What have you set aside.... for the sake of being a loving family member. What would be the selfish indulgence you could allow yourself to have.

I don't think a bucket list is a last minute shopping guide to things you forgot to buy (or didn't make time for) while you still have/had good health and others to share you experiences with.
