My advice is to get rid of the word "should". Ride as many miles as you want to ride and as your schedule and fitness will permit. Fifteen miles is plenty for some people, while forty miles is not enough for others. Only you can decide what distance you can and "should" ride.

"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."
David Desautels, in a letter to velonews.com

For someone else's perspective... I started out doing 10-15 mile jaunts. AFter a month of that, I was up to 25-30 mile rides.
I've been riding just over 6 months, and my longest ride was 75 miles. I had planned to complete at least 1 century this fall, but both were rained out. There's always next year!
