 Before you head out for a ride, check to make sure your tubes are still holding air by inflating them the night before to nearly the highest PSI & checking for any slow leaks the next day.
If the tubes are holding air, you're good to go! If there's any significant pressure drop, you'll need to get those tubes replaced (& check for thorns, glass, metal in the rubber of the tire as well - otherwise, that leak will keep on happening). Better to find out before the ride than during!
