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?)?

that name. You may even want to add this one in yourself

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.
