I am just 68 yrs and hey already I can't climb any more, or run, or skate, or cave, or grapple, or ski, or white water... Man I can't even sleep flat in a regular bed...
I don't want to spend the money to learn golf and sky diving would be nice if I could do it again with the Army...
Shooting is great but I can't even find caps for my black powder much less afford to knock off rounds for fun...
But I can still bicycle... I am so glad that has not been taken away form me...

As for shooting, ammunition is currently made of unobtainium. Time for you to get yourself an airgun or two. Pellets can still be found, and are way less than .22LR ammo. Pellets can be ordered online also. Forget BB's. They'll fly all over the place. Lead pellets. I like multi-pump rifles the best. Break barrels, whether spring Piston or gas piston powered can be hard to shoot well.

Christ, I guess it's not so bad here. I can still ride, even feel a little gaining of fitness. I'm not fast by any means, but don't run out of gas after a small climb like before. This after about three 15 mile weekend rides, with no real push to go fast or "train" or whatever.
Almost 2 years ago, I got back on my bike after being away from it for 15 years. I made a commitment to riding regularly. My fitness improved, as I rode 40 lbs off my fat @$$. I got back to doing the fast group road rides I used to do when I was a racer-boy. It felt good to be strong on the bike again! In the last couple of months, I've started mixing in some MTB riding, as well, just to keep things fresh and exciting. This works for me. Find what works for you.
