Novice Cycling

I have started cycling -I am only doing a couple of 3-4 undulating runs a day with no side effects (apart from the sore botty)
I am reasonably fit as i have no muscle ache.
How do I progress?
Do I maintain what i'm doing or as its obviously not a challenge physically how may miles would you recommend daily given that I cant move for hills so any route would present an incline (yikes) or a smalll rapid hill.
BTW -its not a chore I love it although it is for fitness reasons.
Any sage tips from seasoned cyclists would be appreciated (mountain bike)
O sorry 50 fit and female if that helps !! Drisgirl (Fri 02:38 03/Jul/09)

Not bad when you split that in half for a one-way trip. Just want to tell you how brilliant it is for your legs and thighs. After having my first boy, I was horrified to see some flab. Six weeks of cycling later - not a bit of it, and never returned - so good luck. xx
