Hey Jas :-)
Hope you pulled up ok after Sunday, what a cool day. I'm not sore at all, but I was tired when I got home.

On 9-Oct how do you know the weather forecast for 31-Oct? Did you leave out the word IF in your sentence, or a confusion with the date?

Do you cycle to work? If not, check out the timetables for free trams and buses within the City. There is also an ACC free bus although if you miss the bus, a long wait for the next. I do not know the ACC bus route.
