When people say that someone is “over the hill,” they mean that person is too old for some pursuit (usually in sports) or simply old.
As a cyclist, I always found that odd: Pedaling up a hill (or a mountain), even if it leaves me tired, is a way of reassuring myself that I am not old, that I am in the middle of my life.
