If you like to avoid traditional holidays as much as I do and are interested in joining me for a week or two on the Baja Divide (start in SD, bus back from a major city) send me a PM! I am currently out of shape, but overall am a focused rider that likes to be productive (keep moving) during the limited daylight hours and have lots of bikepacking experience. Exact start date and length is flexible, but ideally I would like to head out a day or two before Christmas.
