Hang around, keep riding, in a few more years you'll realize it's no big deal.

Yeah, it's all downhill from here... Unlike cycling where downhill is usually a good thing for most of us, this kind of downhill isn't. So embrace the up hill rides. Doing a lot of them will help keep the other things from going downhill. <grin>

When my father was in his mid-70s, he confided, "I felt old when you turned 50 (he was 71, my current age, at that time), but I really felt old when your brother turned 50 (2-1/2 years later)."

A might bewildered...
Reasons I like being old:
- grandchildren.
- wisdom of the Ages.
- eligible for seniors meals at Dennys and IHOP.
- there is no chore that can’t be avoided by claiming the worst back pain ever.
- I look great in khaki shorts and knee-high white socks.
- you don’t sweat the negativity of all the long term projections.
- you don’t even fear getting nuked. I’ve had a good run.
