Thats reads very positive.
I do long rides. Did a 540km sportive last season, and a 5000m climbing day in france, to boast a bit. But I did these slowly. So they arent really anything to boast about TBH.
Theres a 20min 7% Climb quite local. Its so perfect for training.
You ride for 25 mins along a flattish road to the base, to warm up;
Climb up one side at a target of 110% FTP;
Spin the legs out along the short Plateau at the top;
Desend Down the other side;
Climb this side at a target of 110% FTP again;
Ride the 25min flattish road back to cool Down.Only trouble is that you need to Catch a Ferry to get there, and the Whole thing always ends up taking at least half a day. Still, I hope to do this as much as possible.
This is my strategy at least...

I don't think 'base miles' is really a thing*. So that's not your problem.
You don't have a foundation as you like to ride hard short efforts (judging from previous posts) You could get a 'base' off 2x20 , 1x60 or 1x90 efforts happily.
You might not be able to reach your genetic potential as long steady rides are needed, but you could get near it, and happily build a base.
