OK, I'm 60-- the joints are getting creaky. Just like you youngsters, I don't want to douse myself with ibuprofen or anything else as a "preventative" or ritual post-hardride antidote as in: 400mg's with my Endurox. That said, I'll admit to using ibu. following days where I stupidly push it trying to hang with bronzed youth types or simply pushing gears too big for me on hills. Those little aches or flare ups do seem to happen more frequently these days and age hasn't made me any smarter about over-use.
Still, I much prefer post ride ice and common sense and only like to use anti-inflammatories as a last choice.
We 60 year old types aren't that much different than you kids......just a bit more banged up and brittle.
