Help! Advice for riding in your 40s
I've been riding mostly as a form of transport for about 7 years now. I ride quite a bit every week. Recently, I've realized that while my riding ability hasn't decreased from 3 years ago (I'm currently 41), my recovery definitely has. Previously I could ride 120 km in one day and not be fully affected and ride another 74 the next day without much of a hitch. These days, I ride 74 km and the next day 74 is rough, and the days after are even rougher. Anyone in your 40s or older that's putting a lot of miles have advice for this fairly new member of the 40s club on how to speed up recovery and keep on riding the long rides? Thanks
