beginner... need advice

Hi, I just started riding recently, and I was skimming through the posts here and you all seem to be riding A LOT more than me

The most I've done so far is 14 miles.. and i'm going to do the 50 miles from rosarito to ensenda in april...

i'm very out of shape, and i'm having so much fun riding the bike that for once i'm actually into excercising.. it would help me out a lot to see a guideline to kinda follow of how much i should do as i'm starting out and how often. if i have a goal amount of miles i should be doing, it'd be easier for me cause i'd push myself to get there, rather than just judging it by feeling tired and stopping

also, are there other excercises i should incorporate in as well that would help with the cycling...

50 miles seems like a lot to me right now and that ride has a fair amount of uphill riding so i know i'm going to need a lot more endurance than i'm capable of right now.

thanks for your help!
