Oil Change Intervals (Winter Storage Advice)

Hey guys. Just need advice on the following oil change interval options.

I drive about 10,000KM (about 6000 miles) per year.

My question is, how should i go forward with oil changes.

Option 1
Change oil in November/or (when i put it in winter storage)
Change oil in May *6 month interval* (I bring out the car usually in March/April so i would drive with the oil that was in storage for 1-2months)

Option 2
Change Oil in November/or (when i put car into storage)
Change Oil in March/April (when I bring car out of storage)

My issue with Option 2 is that I would drive almost 8 months with the same oil when I heard you should change oil every 6 Months if you don't reach your necessary miles.
While option 1 it would be an evenly 6 month interval.

So advice would be much appreciated.
