Advice as we age? go slow and stay out of traffic.
As for the approach angle question last posed, I still use a late-apex approach, but as I've aged, I tend to follow the arc of the curve more, rather than "point-and-accelerate."
How old am I ? turned 66 this past spring, in my 27th year of riding. Have attended CSS levels 1 & 2 in the past 10 years, best thing I've ever done; my wife agrees, said I'm smoother and more relaxed, when I came back from the classes.
