I will see how a change in diet changes my performance.

I retired at 65 and I was pretty detrained at that point. I was still riding at least on the weekends but not feeling good about it. Since I didn't go to work anymore I thought I could get back to where I was in my 50s but no dice.
It took longer to make small gains than ever before. Gains do come but require patience. Even when I seem to be at a certain level it isn't consistent. Still, I feel better than I did while I was working. I'll be 70 in a few weeks and I still have some pretty fun times out there with the club and even solo sometimes.
