We still do
Good on ya for getting out to do some cardio. It will take a couple months to get use to the saddle again and the different muscles to hold yourself up on the bike again. After that, the first 5 rides is the hardest, you will get back into the groove of things again. The trick is going out consistently be it once a week or twice. Within the first two months of struggling you will be able to get up those hills again with ease. I know a bunch of older guys in their late 60s are still out doing it around the foothills of Pasadena (or Altadena rather) humping up those hills.
