Cycling day trip from Bagong Pag-asa to Makati City

Get ready for a city adventure! This ride takes you from Bagong Pag-asa, a lively neighborhood in Quezon City known for the massive SM North EDSA mall, all the way down south to bustling Makati City—the Philippines’ financial center, packed with skyscrapers, cool cafes, and art spots.

You’ll cruise over about 21 km on mostly paved surfaces (expect a mix of asphalt and concrete). The route keeps things smooth, with gentle ups and downs—just over 100 meters of ascent to keep your legs working but nothing too grueling.

Most of the journey is on quiet roads, perfect for relaxed pedaling, though you’ll dip into a handful of busier streets as you approach Makati. Pack some extra patience for city traffic and keep an eye out for gaps in the pavement, since a small chunk of the route might be under construction or missing paving.

Arriving in Makati, treat yourself to great food or coffee—there’s always something happening here! Whether you’re commuting or sightseeing, this city ride is a fun way to see Metro Manila from the saddle.
