Okay I wasn't doing a serious answer but "10% rule" is a good one.
Add no more than 10% to your weekly distance and make your weekly long ride no more than 10% longer than the previous.
You can go out and ride 100mi but you will hurt for quite a while after wards so it's best to step up distance incrementally otherwise you risk overuse injuries.
