I think you have an excellent new plan. Taking off every 3rd day sounds very sensible, in addition to stretching after each ride.

Above all, be consistent. I am cautious of planning to ride every day or a specific number of days because if I can't for one reason or another, I tend to feel like I'm not meeting my goals. It's easier for me to say that I'll ride as often as I can, or every day that I'm free but no more than 3 days in a row. In other words, keeping it flexible and allowing for life's inevitable interruptions keeps me on track and prevents frustration.
