Get to a point where your standard day ride is 40-55 miles long and, as T-MSN says, you still feel reasonably fresh. If hills are hard to do..then ride more hills. As a not so small side thing..do what you can in the next 700 days to insure your bike fits you & is comfortable. If your butt continues to bother you after you're use to cracking out 40-50 miles a day, then you need to find a new/more comfortable saddle. Same goes for other parts of your body..if your knees are continually bothering you or your neck muscles are killing you, then you need to work on your bike setup and fitting. If you're comfortable on the bike, then riding 50-80 a day is very doable. If you're uncomfortable, then it can be a long day.
