Taking multivitamins, Vitamin D, Vitamin B6 and ginger in morning smoothie,

3. How much do you feel you have "slowed down" if any?

I'm much slower than in my 20's and 30's
.I didn't notice big slowdown in early 40's but in late forties and now I'm riding in much slower pace.

I ride road bicycle since my early 20's. I tried mountain bike but didn't like it (now I use it to commute).

I try to keep it 2-4 times / week and from mid April to end of September it ends up about 4500 miles(+/-)
