Depression and cycling

Following the Graeme Obree interview thought it might be useful to have a thread to discuss some of the issues highlighted by the interview.

I'm going to try and kick things off in a positive manner and simply share what works for me. I have a depression diagnosis and cycling is massively beneficial. I can't remember a ride where I have got back and felt worse. Slogging my guts out trying to keep a quick pace up or just buggering off for three or four hours and unwinding through the lanes it's all good
