You won't know until your third or fourth ride. I am 57 and my first ride of the season is always a huff-and-puff fest. By the 2nd or 3rd, I can do 40-50 miles without a second thought. After a number of years, you may get on the bike four or five times and not be able to make it around the block. Don't be discouraged; you'll be using muscles you haven't used in years.
