It sucks but we do have to ratchet some things down as we get older. We're lucky when the reminders are minor incidents. I'm 60, and typically ride gravel bikes off-road (I hate riding in traffic - I'm over here in Glendale - the sh*#*ty driver capital of SoCal). I went over the bars recently on some rocky singletrack, due to a bad braking move on my part (I should know better, been riding the same trails for years). Last time that happened was mtb'ing almost 10 years ago. Very lucky to have somehow performed a nice aikido-style roll over my shoulder and came up squatting looking at my bike. Totally subconscious. Only real damage was my busted brifter and I had to walk out. Kinda dodged a bullet, at 60.
