Mountain (off road)

Withdrawn: Fluid trainer
Have no idea how much a second hand one costs but depending on condition $200 sounds like a good place to start as any.
Got one now.

Ourimbah spin
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Enter via Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. On your right will be 'TreeTops' for the kids and it's large-ish carpark. Carry on past there and the first small clearing which is were parking used to be, and is where the 'Browns' single track turns (you might see riders on your left here). Please do not park in this car park.
Parking and official trail head is now designated a further 350m or so up the road where there is a larger area. There's a CCOMTB notice board here by the trail entrance (on the left as you drive up the hill). Park up nose to curb or as directed.
After being off the bike a while it is time to try and get some fitness back. Three maybe four laps at a moderate pace. Haven't ridden Ourimbah for ages so looking forward to it.

Winmalee warm-up
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
End of White Cross Rd, Winmalee, NSW. There's a small parking area here but it's a standard suburban street so overflow isn't a problem.
My riding buddy Craig and Myself are heading out for a bit of a training ride around Winmalee in the morning. We are meeting at the Whitecross carpark. Starting with a run along Shaw's Ridge, down the fast and loose descent into Bluegum Swamp then up the beast that is Bee's Nest to the lookout. From there we heading along Springwood Ridge, down the really steep technical descent into the Grotto. Then we'll hang a left and ride through Bluegum in reverse, back up the grinding Shaw's hill, along Shaw's Ridge in reverse.

Ando's + Oaks
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Emu Plains Station carpark (two before Glenbrook to catch an extra downhill at the end and secure a place on the train before the Oaks mob boards at Glenbrook) to catch the 08:13 train up to Wentworth Falls.
Rescheduled after the %%$^%#$ weather reports advised about the winds scheduled, and the tracks are probably covered with fallen trees.
The pace will be "brisk social" - This will mean a couple of stops will happen at the creeks and the helipad, though besides that I want us to be able to move along at a fairly rapid pace, so it'd be preferable to ride with people with a higher degree of fitness.

Wanted: Miscellaneous Maintenance equipment
Want to start tackling home maintenance so im looking for the following:
Avid bleed kit (elixir 5)
Work Stand
Shimano 9 speed (xt) jockey wheels.
Workshop tools i.e. a kit or something including bb tool, cassette tool, cone spanners etc..
Not fussed if the stuff is new or second hand.
Thanks,
Jono
