How long do you bulk?

How long do your bulk sessions last? Do you tie it to how much weight you gain, strength improvement, or just a set period?

    Either -

    (A) Until I can no longer stand how I look.
    or
    (B) Until I have to start cutting in order to reach a goal (bikini season, race weight, etc)

    Until I hit about 13% body fat. Which is when my abs stop showing. Then I cut till 7% and immediately start a small surplus. Rinse and repeat.
