You're still breathing, what's the problem?
A bit down after looking at old diaries

Be careful of wishing to be faster: I tried just that, pulled a muscle in my back ... 
Oh, I'm 51, never liked sports, never kept a diary, so I'm not depressed about it, just sore

I'm 58 and was out riding on Saturday with a mate who is 60. We were riding uphill into a headwind and got overtaken at speed by another cyclist who I reckoned was about 70, but my mate got a better look at him and reckoned he might have been 75 ... The old guy was flying!

Thanks for the replies!
I must've peaked physically around 38 to 40 years old. I know it was a bit late but i was so unfit in my 20's after rejecting any kind of physical exercise after leaving school,that it took me years to become reasonably fit. One advantage of that is when i hear other cyclists say they wish they were a lot younger, I remember how unfit i was when i was a lot younger so i have no hang ups about that!
