Over the Hill - Col du Burgundy
Despite being overweight and overage, I managed to crawl up Burgundy St
Heidelberg on the trusty Trek 1200 this morning - wished I had a third cog on the front but got up anyway and only went down to the 8th cog at the back. Left all the other old farts behind (walking). Now I'm wondering what are the best times people have done on this road and where is the acknowledged starting point (last set of traffic lights before the top maybe?)? |

Its really too short to claim any cycle2max times on it. Have a look at Hodgson Street Kew (Reverse Walmer), if you want to compare times on a similar length climb. http://tinyurl.com/23h979 |

Oh bollox, there's goes my chance to claim Short Street in Northcote. No it's not just a pun on the name either. |
