Let me qualify that leg strength and gearing ratio's are not my limiting issue when riding, it's heart rate related. Normally, I use a HR monitor and the issue is just keeping my pulse at a level where I can sustain the riding pace, given the distance I pan to ride. It does not take a lot of wind or increased pace to increase the HR 10 or 15 beats per minute over that which can be sustained for hours.

My 65 year old body is reminding me I'm not a kid anymore.
