Training Question: Pre-base Training

Hi,

I got back on the bike this year after a 12-year lay-off. Without much
of a mileage base or structured preparation of any kind, I've performed
OK in competition. I've decide to quit racing for the remainder of the
season and start thinking about next year.

Popular wisdom suggests that I should begin building my base in
November (for a May-September season).

How would readers suggest I use my time between now and then?
