Boy … I must be getting old. Not because of the cycling, but because I had a hard time figuring out how to read that article.

Distance per ride seems like an odd metric to me. Too many confounding factors involved.

FWIW, I ride about 25 miles or so a day during the week, and a longer ride on weekends. That’s down from my pre-retirement daily commuting distance of 34 miles a day, but it includes about 2500 feet of daily climbing, and my commute had virtually no climbing.

My endurance is definitely waning and I’m not as tolerant of heat as I used to be either. Getting soft, I guess.
