what's a good distance to speed ratio for joining a club?,
as I don't want to be trailing behind or die before the end

If you are worried about ride speeds, check out your local CTC - they should have some rides to suit you.

Join a club, find some like-minded friends. Puts cycling into a whole another league, re-invigorated my love for the sport because I was getting bored as hell by myself.

Do some Audaxes/Sportives/Something crazy to aim for.

I found "The Flying Scotsman" amazingly motivational. I live with Clinical Depression and thus have some level of understanding as to how you feel. Finding another person or people to ride with is good advice as is getting into a routine regarding days you ride. Try alternating routes and mixing it up a bit.

PM me if you want to chat OK?

Hi,
started cycling about just over a month ago, whilst I've been going through a bad time with feeling depressed and other health issues.

The initial excitement of cycling is wearing off and I'm being put off by silly stuff like,
feeling like I'm not improving, slowing to sluggish speeds in the wind, hills - of any nature, bumpy / bumps in roads ,
shouts of abuse encouragement.

motivational cycling videos / pictures / quotes, or anything else that you think will help will be much appreciated
