If at all possible, just keep building! That doesn't mean, of course, that if you only have the time or energy to do a shorter ride that you shouldn't do a shorter ride, but that it's OK to keep building on your previous mileage if you can.

Sounds like you'll be a hill climbing machine within the year!
