I went up this morning for a pre-work (seriously slow; like picture slow then divide that by ten) spin and I had my Sabre Saw strapped to the outside of my tiny back-pack (making it a good bit longer than the bag), so I went into the 'tunnel' section after section 2 and saw (no pun intended) that Terry had been busy trimming - so I just did a few more bits to help tidy it up more, anyway, out of the blue a nice lady approached and said I heard the saw and I'd come investigate - she was cool, I said 'I'm just trimming so no one walking or anything gets it in the eye' she was like 'you should call coillte they'll do it' I said 'ah sure tis only a bit of trimming' anyway off she went - glad it wasn't the 'Pink Lady' god knows what would have happened.
so, with time not on my side I decided to cycle home via the road - rivers everywhere - and just as I came around the corner towards the back side of the leadmines - who do I see the pink lady - ah shit! I'm thinking I'm on my cross (looks like a road) bike, I'm on the road what could possibly go wrong. . .
so, I could see her ahead so I thought - I'll go full stealth mode - no gear changes, no braking, no breathing, and what the flip does she do - without looking walks straight across me I just avoid her- she gets a fright I say 'Morning . . .' (as it is indeed morning) and she says 'sorry' (incredibly) however - then the sh1t hit's the fan, as i pass she starts screaming 'why have you a sword on your back?'
Well how do you respond to that - I cycled on as fast as I could (I was flaked so not very fast) with her shrill tones ringing in my ears . . . thinking she's calling the cops and I have a non-concealed weapon (i.e. a wood and plaster saw from woodies that cost a tenner). Scheesh the stress . . .
