How old are you? Unless you are > 60, I am not sure you can blame it on age. My DH is 60 and is having the cycling year of his life...he's put in 7200 miles so far this year with multiple centuries (all unorganized, just on his own) and many more 60+ days.

I don't know how he does it either. I've done a few 70+ mile days this year, but most of my rides are in the 40-mile range. And I'm "only" 53. A lot of it is mental.
