At nearly 70, no aches, no pains, even since retiring and upping my regular training rides to 3 to 5 hours in length, 6 days a week. Just lucky?
Agreed. At the age of 69, having ridden steadily since the age of 13, I too find that a bike that fits and consistent miles are my best friends for keeping away the aches and pains. I ride 4 days a week, 2 to 6 hours each ride.
Although I will admit that I feel like I've failed if my legs don't hurt after one of my longer rides!
