Coming out of lockdown, Swordfish HQ and friends searched for weekend coffee stops while biking and put together our first coffee route covering Makati and BGC!
With a minimum distance of 20km, you will find optional turns that add 3-5km each, extending the route up to roughly 30km in total!
Optional turns include:
* Papa Kape
* Upper McKinley hill
* Right on Makati Ave.- Rockwell to Single Origin - Back to Salcedo via Cartel
We chose this route because it gives riders many uninterrupted straight paths—such as Chino Roces ext., Lawton, and University Dr—for a good cadence fix.
For those looking for a hill or two, Upper McKinley to the Korean embassy and back is our best option at the moment.
Our team also made a Komoot Route you can follow via GPS the exact way it is intended.
Whether you are new to the city or need a good road cycling route for a couple of hours, you may want to try this one. And, when you do, snap and share! #swordfishcoffeeroute
Disclaimer: This route requires some road riding experience. Please ride responsibly! Although there were days we never had our coffee until we were done with the ride, most of the coffee shops you will pass open by 8-8:30 am!
Enjoy and ride safe!
