Looking for advice on a month long tour starting in late Nov-January

[Moyo]

Any ideas on parts of the country with both a significant amount of dirt road / single-track possibilities and tolerable weather towards the end of the year? As a Texan, I whine a lot more about cold than most. But I am free in late November, and need to stretch my legs.
I'm partial to southeast Utah and arizona, and the thought of doing some kind of kokopelli - Lockhart basin - (assorted dirt roads ) - azt ride has crossed my mind.

Any other suggestions or warnings against my only idea?

Other then the odd cold snap mid to late November should be good here in Southern AZ, I would suggest looking at the Gila Canyons segment of the AZT. There's plenty of options for loops with the AZT and jeep trails, dirt and paved roads, one big loopish ride or several shorter outings could easily be put together.
