I think they do get steeper sometimes.

I was noting on Sunday how I still run the same gears and cadence as I used to but I get passed by more people going faster than they used to. When other riders half my age were 20 I could generally keep up with most of them. When riders half my age hit 25 I could still keep up. You would think they would slow down as they get older, but now that riders half my age are 35 keeping up with them isn't any easier. How do you figure that?
