Steepest climb? Somerset Monument just before Hawkesbury Upton. Probably tops at 18-20% but average is shallower. Not a lot of space for tacking and the lead in is pretty lumpy and draggy.
Also there's the double header of Broad Town and Hackpen hills on the way to Marlborough. Neither that long but both entries are draggy. Honking is likely so bring what gears you can.
Also it a long day with a few pokey little ramps that can catch you in the wrong gear.
