Today I did a route I have done a few times before, I found it hard going, not too sure why it was very cold and even though I was pushing quite hard I couldn't get warm after about an hour my feet were like blocks of ice
I have also tighten up my diet a bit as my weight loss has almost stopped in the last month so just didn't seem to have my usual energy.
36.9 miles in 2:16:41 at 16.2 mph.

Not quite mate, I think I did it 2 minutes quicker last time and I think it was windier that time.Not bad at all if you had no energy. You do 20mph average when you have full energy!?
Still using my leggings (although getting on the big size) my zip broke the first couple of times I used them, but managed to get it back together and only undo them 3/4 of the way and they've been fine. Godsend in the cold.
I think the the cold really saps your energy. I found it hard going today. Got lulled by the sunny couple of days we've had.
After today's effort, I got the sewing kit out and sort of fixed the offending zip. They are back in service.
Still way quicker than me, I did 37.3 in 2:50 avg 13.14 2221ft of climbing (59.62ft p/mile) 3 p.b.'s but I think I had a little tail wind.Today I did a route I have done a few times before, I found it hard going, not too sure why it was very cold and even though I was pushing quite hard I couldn't get warm after about an hour my feet were like blocks of ice

Yeah I was pleasantly surprised at those. 8o)
I had on a proper fleece lined winter bib and leggings and thick thermal sock and a underarmour base layer and a thermal buff and a windproof cycling jacket and sealskinz gloves and BBB thick overshoes and a micro hat under my helmet and still froze my bits off!!
