Boucan Guillaume is a climb of 13.4 kilometers (category 1). Boucan Guillaume tops out at 432 m above sea level. It is located in Commune Anse-à-Pitres, Département du Sud-Est, Ayiti. The average gradient is 3.5% with a maximum of 13%. The climb has 477 meters of elevation gain.
Difficulty analysis: This 1st category climb has a three-act profile. A very gentle start (first 3 km at 0-1%) leads into a demanding central section (km 3 to 9, with gradients of 5%, 7% and 7%). A short flat stretch (km 9-10) gives you a breather before a irregular but sustained finale (km 11-13.4 at 3-5%). The real difficulty lies in that long steep stretch after a deceptive start.
Pacing advice:
1. Save something in the tank for the first 3 km. Resist the temptation to go too hard on this flat-ish opening. You'll need those legs for the 7% sections.
2. Settle into a steady rhythm on the long climb from km 3 to km 9. This is the heart of the ascent; find a cadence you can hold over those 6 tough kilometres.
3. Use the flat section at km 9 to recover actively (spin easy without pushing) before tackling the final kilometres.
