Discussion: Beechworth training weekend/week

There are 8 of us going to Beechworth on Friday, the 26th of Feb, with 4 of us going through to Wednesday.

Anyone else want to join in? Drop me a email

Do you have detailed plans for Saturday and Sunday?
Some of us have to work during the week.

Where exactly is this? How many hours from Sydney and what sort of terrain?

clicky here. And don't forget to check out the bakery when you're in town.

the town map.

Looks cool, thanks for the links! Probably a bit too far to lure me away from Sydney, though...

i can vouch for the bakery, it was the most popular place in town when we stayed there for the oz champs. The pizza guy around the corner seems to know a thing or two on pizza recepes too. We went exploring in some of the town's surrounding bush and was way impressed with the terrain and rocks, you guys ARE the lucky country.

The bakery... for a long time an over-hyped franchise bakery masquerading as artisan craft. It was sold out to a pair of business mafia types, who went the cost cutting route. The locals learnt to go elsewhere. I understand things may have improved again since a recent change of management. The MBA types ran it down, created franchise operations elsewhere, contracted much of the pastry then sold it.

they still make some good stuff, so who cares.

boris, it's well worth the trip down. awesome maps down there. and you gotta go to the brewery, delicious beers and some bloody good pizzas too. just around the corner from the bakery...

I wonder how many junior camps over the years have revolved around the bakery?
