As already mentioned, if you're doing your training on PART 61 (and I assume so) you need 50 hr of x-country time for your instrument check ride, and if you wait until fall (which in my opinion is not a good idea) your training/check ride might be delayed because you couldn't get your x-country time in due to weather! So why wait, get started now, and get it out of the way!
And it's also a good idea to include all of the commercial (x-country requirements) in this 50 hr, like the 250 n.m. and five hours of solo night flight.
