How much riding have you done in the past? The weekly 10% rule kinda goes out of the window if you've already got some decent miles in your past. I could go a ride a 600k tomorrow with little ill effects even though I've been doing 1hr commute/day. If you're coming back from injury or quite a while off the bike then erring on the side of caution isn't going to do you any harm but mostly you will need to pay attention to any problems and decide if they're showstoppers or just niggles from time off.
