I thought I'd ease myself back in gently with a few circuits of the Esplanade to give me sufficient time to finish off my latest Jack Reacher audio book, "Worth Dying For", which I'd not quite completed on my weekend road trip. Lost in the closing chapters, my circuits mounted. I could not, however, hear over the melodic tones of the New England narrator, Jeff Harding, that Endomondo had already called out the 1-2-3-4-5 mile markers before I turned off to conclude my ride. Not realising how far I'd travelled, I took in a wide circuit of the hospital for good measure, Jeff still chatting to me through my headphones.
So, it was to my complete surprise, when checking the stats after securing bike and helmet away, that I had actually completed 7 miles and had been out 45 minutes ... oh my! A new distance record and a bit of a rush to get ready for work. Audio books are certainly 'worth cycling for'!

Getting lost in a good book is one of my favourite pastimes whilst out walking ... so can completely understand where you are coming from!
ReplyDeleteSo glad I'm not alone here. I can even see this now becoming a feature of my rides. Today, for instance, I was joined by Jason Isaacs reading Thunderball ;)
ReplyDeleteJack Reacher's power knows no bounds!
ReplyDeleteSo true Gill, I should take him on all my rides ;)
