I ride my Atlantis MIT from March going forward until the ice and snow fall.  I have lost the enthusiasm for studded tire riding in the cold.  I like to ride trails primarily.  Weather here in LaCrosse, WI has turned nasty and I am missing riding.  I've got the time to venture somewhere warm where there is abundant trail riding and am asking the group for suggestions.  Thanks in advance.  I may not go anywhere, given COVID, but I can always dream.  Tim Petersen.

Sedona Arizona is likely my favorite place to mountain bike. They have trails for all skill levels, the scenery is incredible and the weather is typically decent. They can get snow though.

If I was feeling adventurous I'd go to around Fayetteville, AR. I can't tell you specifically where. I bet word of mouth on location would be most fruitful.

As for what's happening ..... I ask myself just what is happening anyways ?  Is it what the media says, what people say, what numbers say ? Hardly .... LIFE is what's happening .... and no-one or no-thing can alter LIFE as only LIFE is Living. Get it ? LIFE Living Itself... as Itself ... hence .... indestructible as there isn't anything "else".

It's usually cheap to fly to Las Vegas, and there's abundant trails all around, plus January/February is lovely weatherwise. Just don't gamble.

I'm in Charlotte, NC and ride daily.  Today was 56F and sunny.  Some cooler days but there's usually a warm day not too far away.  I'm on Warm Showers if you want to come here and I have a Cheviot in the garage for you to ride.  Or Southwest and American fly your bike as a normal bag fee if boxed.  (lookup dimensions).  Vaccinations and booster required for an indoor stay.  Otherwise the backporch is always available.

Not a Riv option but have you considered buying a Fat Bike?

+1 on this. For the cost of a vacation, you can probably get a fat bike (if you can find one!) and I'm sure there are trails good for snow biking in WI.

I'm surprised there aren't more specific trail and route recommendations. California, Utah, Florida, Texas, warm climes in the CONUS worth visiting during the WI winter!

"More specific trail recommendations" would be fun!

Then I’ll suggest the Silver Comet/Chief Ladiga trail out of Atlanta, if you want a paved trail.
https://groups.google.com/g/bicycletouring/c/cFpcvUWqzkA

Typically high 40’s, low 50’s for temperatures, though it is getting below freezing at night right now.  The last significant snow I remember was 2017.
On the plus side, Atlanta is easy to get to.  On the minus side, the trail is only 96 miles long.
