Good advice above, but I'll add my 2 cents that a true unracer shouldn't ride just for the sake of miles. But given that mental goal that most of us have to ride a century, I suggest building your rides around destinations that gradually increase in length and get you there. I'm relying on my experience only, but having a destination as your goal that just happens to result in a century ride is a bit more motivating, and helps to still focus on the joy of the ride.
