An interesting thread Gavroche.
We don`t stop playing because we get old-we get old because we stop playing.

My MiL recently returned from a two week cycling holiday in Majorca during which she notched up 200 miles. She's 83.

Actually, the way I walk, in boots with a pack, is similar to the way I ride. It's just that the boots get full of mud and I go up steeper hills. I go places on the bike I wouldn't walk, cover greater distances. I could have bought a reasonable bike with what my boots cost, but the bike will be next.

A man came up to me at my dad's funeral and spoke to me for 5 minutes as if he were an old friend of mine. It turned out that he was!
He had aged a bit since I had last seen him 25 years prior to that, but he was still very recognisable.
At least I had an excuse ... I had a brush with death from carbon monoxide poisoning a couple of years before that and it left me with a degree of brain damage, which included a poor memory.

Yes and No really. Yes because I too would like to be able to keep up with younger riders being 65 oh and also to be a lot slimmer body wise. But no when it comes to getting out on my bike and having a go. I have discovered though over the last year that age is nothing as long as you have good health and now having got acid reflux from a hiatus hernia that is more restricting than my age. But hey many people have worse than that so its a case of getting on with it.
On a different front I still ride a motorbike but certainly not like I did at 16.

When he said he was in your class at school, were you tempted to respond with, "I don`t remember anyone in my class with a bald head and no teeth”.
