Definitely not bad at all. I got my current bike in 2017, and hadn't ridden previously since probably 1997 when I got my license. For my first ride, I couldn't even do a mile due to the pain and lack of lungs/legs, and I'm sure my average was under 10mph. Second ride, I was able to do 2, then 4...it starts to build up!
