Winter, +2 extra days up front
Ok... right.. For some reason I thought it was Jan 1 start. I stand corrected. Guess I will need that bike rental in CA for the week between xmas and NYE....

You know the rules, warm weather riding doesn't count. Charlie don't surf.

With regards to the warm weather rule, what exactly counts or doesn't count?
Is it anything North of NJ, and up to something like 300 miles south? Or more of a temperature rule suck as within 5°F of a Central Jersey location such as Princeton, NJ???
Anything should count anywhere if you normally live here and are out to travel. Nobody is going to fly to a warm place just to participate in BIYF. If they do, they'll lose some time travelling anyway. That means Rick doesn't count next BIYF season, lol.

Like temperatures or worse
I'll ride in CA, and if it counts, great. If not.....
It will be on Strava, so it counts for something.

i say we count it. unless it is a bike specific vacation to warm climate. "So i went to moab to see the flowers, and rode the bike for 8 hours a day...."
might not count. where as,"i went to wisconsin, and raced for 11 hours in the middle of the night would."
hell, if you can carve out time on a trip to florida for a bike ride, good for you. even better if you get a spouse or friend to go.....
Visiting in-laws. Dec 22-30. Our house is under renovation and our dog has been there since April. Wife and kids miss the dog.
Santa Cruz area. Sadly, the SC factory demos are closed that week. Trying to hook up with a NICA coach for some guided MTB rides, otherwise it's a road rental and riding up and down Skyline Blvd.
Could definitely be low 40's in the morning.
IIRC, I rode Christmas Eve in shorts and short sleeves last year in NJ.

What @fidodie said. In the end, just ride your bike! It sucks to make rules, and it also sucks when people cry foul at another rider (which was way less common than I was expecting last year, so that's a bonus). That means there's minimal rules to try and avoid such conflict. But to frame Pat's example, not many of us have a Moab trip on the books anyway, so it's hardly an issue. In the unlikely event that there is a complex cheating operation to win the internet competition to ride your bike more, the MTBNJ athletics commission will handle it. Probably Tanya Harding style.
