Drink more than 3 pints is a no-no. Up to 3 is fine and I wonât suffer the next day.

With a moniker like yours, Iâm hoping youâre referring to Beer and not Single Malt!

I usually drink one pint of beer per day, preferably around the 4% mark

Iâm too old for thinking Iâve still got half my life to come ⌠it is completely unrealistic, and would be a world record! One third might just be possible - I just wish I could count on it, but I am increasingly aware that there is no certainty.

The line of candles already burnt has become longer than than the candles waiting to be lit, but they ARE waiting to be lit.

A utv ride in Aruba down a trail a goat wouldnât go down.
Thought Iâd let my imagination run riot here. In no particular order :-
1 Scoring the winning goal for Norwich at Carrow Road in the Champions League semi-final.
2 Showing Sir Lewis Hamilton how you really drive an F1 car.
3 Showing Eric Clapton how you really play a guitar.
Now, if I didnât need to mow the lawns & wash the car tomorrowâŚ

I feel ur pain.
Had to get rid of the CBR600 for same reasons. But could never be without a bike, so changed to a Triumph trident 660 with a more sensible riding position.
Happy daysđ.
On another note, definitely too old for the house repairs/ maintenance. Takes forever to fix something thatâs only a 10 minute job!!

I used to go out clubbing in Uni. Typical fare. Place opens at 11pm. People go home at 7am.
I was only 21 when I suddenly had and urge to get outside into fresh air at just 1am.
I was yawning. Tired. Wanted a cup of tea and to read a book and nod off. I remember thinking, WTF! Iâm too old for this s%%%.
A year later I was too old for cargo pants too.
Hereâs the kicker; those years after you realise youâre too old to stay up all night are nothing compared to the years where you think the same thing but kids have arrived and youâre up all night again⌠now against your will for years on end.

If only I could give that two likes, one for each kid!
Although I still climb I feel that Iâm now too old for this type of high level alpine stuff. Mind you my heart still says go and do it!
This is one climb that my good climbing buddy and I would love to do, but alas we both reckon we have missed our chance. Well, also as we get older we canât be bothered with the type of effort and suffering required for such an outing!
But there againâŚ.

Too old for lugging a pair of Sonus faber Sonetto 3s up two flights of stairs while still recovering from covid.

Scuba diving. A great hobby but the risk is inverse to age, sadly. On the plus side, money not spent on dive kit is redirected to Naim and co. !

If suffering, I would raise the stem up for time being.
Not sure of stem length but you could go next size down or you can get stems that have a degree % rise. But before doing so it might be worth getting a bike fit from a recommended bike shop in your area.
Age is no barrier to cycling we have several members in the Bristol Road Club still cycling who are in their mid seventies.
