I have similar leg pain, that is worse some days than others, but I won't take drugs for it and it doesn't stop me doing things like cycling.

Like it or not, ageing does bring problems, but I admire you for not giving in to them.
No spinal pain. What I experience (post #2 ) is almost all activity related. Morning stiffness was my portion this past winter from the intense manner of snowrides on an ill-fitting MTB. Now that I had neglected any trainer riding on my road warrior, I am reacquainting myself with a different set of muscles. And that is where my morning back/hip stiffness occurs. This will settle down. What I feel being hit the most is hamstrings from using toeclips/restraints on the road bike whereas the winter MTB had none. Next year I will be riding the trainer once a week to stay engaged with the road bike.

The age factor is there, no doubt.
