Tomorrow I have special event shift. So they expect busy traffic and if necessary I will take an extra træen to alleviate the regular ones. I did this shift once before, it is basically just waiting all evening at the yard, all alone, and maybe you don't even have to do anything. Last time I did nothing. So I take my Steam Deck and get comfy. Best Christmas Eve ever

He was altitude doping. Some riders have altitude bedrooms to simulate those conditions with reduced oxygen. Küng books a hotelroom at a nearby mountain for that effect.

Yeah strange innit. On Tuesday we had minus 8 degrees but then this warm BS again. How do you berts usually dress for this plus 4 weather? I had my warmest baselayer plus winter jacket and winter bib tights and good gloves and toe warmers, I think the baselayer was too much because this felt more like heat training.

My winter clothing is a mess, I basically have spring/autumn stuff and throw in a an extra base layer and leg warmers. I don't even have long bibs so spring pants have to do.
I have some 2019 winter jacket that's one/two sizes too big, that's warm and heavy, but I feel wind gets thru it too easily.
But I am not gonna invest heavily into winter gear when I ride once a month.

dressing for winter is shit. At 4° and no wind on a ride that's mid-upper z2 I wear a winter jersey with no baselayer, long bibs (not very thick), neoprene cap, thin buff, medium gloves, overshoes. 

It all comes down to how many watts you push, the more watts and the harder you ride the thinner you have to dress while the very same ride at lower intensity and watts can require another layer just to not freeze. You also have to factor in climbing (if you have that) when you ride hilly because you need to be sufficiently warm when you're descending but remember you get real warm on every climb, that leads to me unzipping my jersey at 0° at times because that baselayer is just too warm right now but really necessary a few minutes later. You can't really win imo. On most rides I'm both too hot and too cold.

I paypigged for a Castelli Perfetto jacket (when they were on sale of course). together with a warm base layer this is pretty good stuff.
the other bert reminded me to keep my feet warm I wear midstrength wool socks that still fit into the the cycling shoe, again Castelli has those on offer. they keep changing the name for their socks, so I have no idea what they are called these days. I wear some cheap aliexpress shoecovers to reduce the impact of the wind, but those aren't hardshells, I still want them to be breathable. you could wear that toe cap that bertaczek uses as well.  
now add a buff and head band and some gloves and I'm good to go.

Thanks for the input berts. Unfortunately I only have the Spatzwear Wintr jacket here with me – probably just too warm for this weather. I will try it tomorrow with just a light sports tshirt underneath instead of a base layer. 3x8min suprathreshold intervals ahead so I will probably have to dress light so that I am almost too cold in the easy parts and then not too hot in the intervals.
I can wholly recommend the Spatzwear Pro Stealth overshoe system though, even with light summer socks and road shoes my feet were nice and cosy. And the Castelli Estremo gloves are very nice as well, likely even better for minus degrees.

Good note to self - potential winter bike camping in my winter jacket has to be a low Z2, otherwise I will overheat and sweat it out immediately.
Camp booties and regular socks are just a bit too cold, has to be a nice winter sock or preferably something windproof.
And I have forgotten about my thermos, hence a ride back to pick it up retake of the pond photo.

I did some suprathreshold work, was a real pain with too hot clothing but not much I can do here at the in-laws. 2x8min at just over 380W and then the third one was a complete failure, dropped at 4min when I just couldn't produce any good power. Seemed like the overheating was more of an issue with higher cadences so I just grinded away with like 85-90rpm.

Well all my "base layers" for winter cycling are actually my hiking gear, merino. And from my experience they are VERY warm but even the smallest of breeze cuts right thru them. So you really need a good windstopper. My windstopper is really made for spring.

I'm keeping RPE pretty low on purpose so as not to interfere with the riding, but I think I could do a 180kg single in the deadlift, maybe 130kg in the squat. As for upper body, I did 5x75kg bench a couple months back with a couple reps in reserve, so maybe 1x85-90kg. Pretty t-rex to be honest.
