Not being sure is a bad sign!

Fortunately I started out with hardly any skills at all so I have very few to miss.

Might be if it were a competitive race....
Range might be a better measure.
Hmmm. I can't easily envisage a situation where I might be involved in such a race!!
As for range, the less said the better, I suspect.
In May 2008 I was reasonably skilled at cycling up mountains.
I'm not now, but I'm hoping that's just lack of practice.
I'm toying with the idea of revisiting a large hill in Provence next autumn...

The ability to walk all day without pain. I've an Arthritic knee that's not ready to be replaced at the moment but a couple of miles walking, using a stick is about my limit these days.
The good news is I can still ride. I this was taken on Monday, having ridden from Reeth.
(OK not that far, but still a reasonable ride, for me.)
I was last there in 2007 on my QNT for a ride to Northallerton and before that in 1966 hiking from Barnard Castle to Reeth.How I'd love to do that walk again.
The day before I did Durham big ride.

I know what you mean dearie ....
I used to be a feckin good hockey goalkeeper, but I twisted my back one day making a diving save that still gives me grief. It wasn''t even in an important game. An off season mixed friendly.
All the skills that go into being good have gone ... reactions, flexibility, speed, match awareness ...
The day I gave my kit away was as bad as losing a favorite bike.

Not a skill, but I played cricket for 35+ years and miss it very much.
I used to be able to throw a cricket ball well over a hundred yards: could manage about 60 now. But I try and play/arrange beach cricket whenever I'm on holiday somewhere appropriate and have still got the reflexes for catching.
