Local jumps for a beginner

Hi
Im looking for a local place to practise doing some basic jumps on my mtb after work.
My bike is full suss and just would like to find something just outside the CBD and learn on a tabletop and some doubles to build my confidence on my old bones.
Considering Im 43yrs old I should know better but have the need to conquer the beast within.
Any help would be appreciated.

Unbelievable!!

Leeeeches

Picked up a little leech at OMV helping one of my kids post-stack, which turned into a big fat leech after gorging on my blood. My kids thought it was hilarious...until I told them that doctors still use leeches to help re-attach limbs ... after I rip their arms off.

No salt or lighter to get rid of it, so tried benedine. It dropped off ok, but the spot got mighty infected for days.

Tip: carry salt !

Kosi to Can'bra ride?

looking for interested riders to join for a four day supported ride from Mt Kosiuszko to Canberra around late Feb/Mar?
dates are flexible and you would need to be able to cover around 65km/day with just basic gear. Camps will be setup by a support team cost would be in the range of $600-$700/pax depending on the final number.
also keen to hear from any one who may have info on routes, conditions, etc

NZ - Queenstown

Hi,

I've been a user of information on this site for quite a while, and never really had the opportunity to contribute until now.

I've just returned from a 10 day holiday to Queenstown NZ where I did a fair amount of riding. I went with the family (wife, 6yr old boy, 5yr old girl) all of whom are keen cyclists so we did a lot of riding and exploring.

With all this rain about I figured now's a good time to review my riding position and bike setup (rather than tear around the dam and BB after work).

Looks like much has been published on the net but hoping some of you can point me in the direction of some of the better info out there.

Wheel builders

Any recommendations on the Northern beaches?
It's to replace a carbon rim on an existing wheel.
Cheers
