You should still get your ride data, but only what you would expect to see in the free version. If I'm not mistaken, the free version limits you to full data access of the last x number of records (rides) but does not allow access to any rides you may have done past that.
The database stored in iCloud is the same database that is on your phone, so restoring from iCloud would give you the same results as you have now. When you had the paid version, did you email yourself the ride data after each ride? If you did and you saved those emails, you can go to the email with the ride you want to see and click on the link to show your data on your web browser. It's the only workaround I know for this issue. I think emailing your ride data to yourself or someone else is not a feature of the free version.
I used to email each ride to myself but discontinued that months ago.
Cyclemeter is a very good app but one of my few complaints is the inconsistency that all data is stored by default on my own phone, but I can't access my own data for the year when I was a subscriber without re-subscribing. I can understand having limited access to new data for the time when I'm not a subscriber. But not for the data when I was a subscriber, when it's stored on my own phone. That's not a customer friendly policy.
There is a workaround. I uploaded most of my Cyclemeter rides to Strava. Strava offers various options for downloading data, so at least one of those should be pretty close to the actual data recorded by Cyclemeter.
