    How right you are, Paul. Regular exercise over the years is the way to go. It is unfortunate, but a lot of what you can do as you get older often depends on sheer luck. If a person is dogged by illness, or maybe disability, or maybe damage from accidents, then the amount and type of exercise they can take can be limited. I am extremely lucky, in that at 92 years of age I have never had a serious illness or accident. I have the common problems of high BP and type 2 diabetes, but luckily they don't impair my activity. An avid cyclist in my yoof - I joined my first cycling club in 1948 - I later switched to squash, which I played until my retirement at 66, whereupon I took up road cycling again. I still ride my road bike - Lycra and all - but two years ago I finally conceded defeat to the hills around where I live, and added a small friction drive e-kit to help me out a bit. It has enabled me to get back on routes I had been avoiding, so has definitely been worthwhile. This has not been to blow my own trumpet - well not entirely - but more by way of an encouragement to others. If lucky enough to be able to do so, stick at it and you will be able to keep going a long time.

    Cycling can be affected by health problems, 3 years ago I was managed 246 miles in one ride, now struggle to manage 16 without electric help, if it wasn't for a bit of help from my pedelec ebikes, I would get any exercise as walking is so painful. Today is first day out since Sunday, as worked a long hard day cooking for 70 in a local pub restaurant, started 10am didn't get a break until nearly 8pm, made my knees so painful.

    Completely Paul. Lovely gesture to wish Julie well. I think the last we heard all was well with the op and I have no doubt that her fitness will see her through.
    This year has been dreadful health wise for me. The desire to get back on the bike has kept me going, though it seems harder every time I have a set back. You’re not going to like it, but what has also really helped have been lower intensity rides on the trainer while watching the tv I watch.
