Endurance Riding and Age

I started cycling 9.5 years ago at the age of 49, and I've really loved gradually increasing my endurance riding since I've started. I've had some on and off years on the bike but I did my first half century on my 50th birthday. A year later, I did my first century. Since then, I've improved my century riding. I did my first double century this past April, right after my 58th birthday. Next year, I'd like to do another double century and a 160 mile event too.

At what age did you have to start decreasing your endurance riding distances? I'm sure it differs from person to person, but I'm just trying to get a handle on what's reasonable expectations of how much farther I can go and for how much longer.
