As these years go by we may have to slow down a bit. It gets tougher that's why in races or group rides the +60 crowd is pretty thin. We get weeded out over the years, illness or just plain tired. It gets harder and it's harder to keep it going.
My 62 year old friend does 50-100 a few times per week and never has any issues.
If you are trashed after 37 miles one day and 30 miles the next day...you may have some other underlying issues.
