Could look at an ebike??
I find it lets me get out for longer and go further and this opens up more places to go to
and this then increase the motivation to get out more
and - YES - they do count - just not as much
but if you go out for longer and more often then is all adds up
and you can run them on low assist levels or even switch the motor off for some sections!!!

Assuming that you don't go for an e-bike, my advice is to make sure that you have a very low bottom gear for the hills!
I suggest that the smallest chainring (front cog) has fewer teeth than the biggest sprocket (rear cog), and the bigger the difference, the better.
With a low enough gear ratio you can get up most hills as long as you take your time.

How young? I would suggest that if you are only 50 or 60 yrs old then there are still KOMs to be had and you shouldn't knock your potential.
I'm 50, don't train, weigh 95kg and work shifts but still give many a young gun a run for their money and can ride 100+ miles for multiple days.

I have been looking for the good bits of Yorkshire for nearly 50 years. So far, I have only found 5 or 6 ...There's a good bit in Yorkshire????
In Yorkshire's defence though - they are very large bits!
