Dear team, on this ride I'd like to take you a little further - to famous biker destination Cafe Lättis, in Pispala.

* Vinolippa tell me they're probably closed on August 3rd, so first coffee will be at Neste Gas & Coffee, Sörnäisten rantatie.

* I'd like to use fast roads for the first & last Protected content of the ride, to get us out of / in to Hel expeditiously, but more leisurely roads where the forest changes from birch to pine.

* Second coffee will be the rather lovely Lettovilla Café & Wine art gallery, overlooking the lake at the elegant Röykkä Resort.

* Then it's slightly more curvy roads to Cafe Lättis. There's a bit a lake there too, not bad for third coffee but only sandwiches and pastries, typical Finnish biker food.

* we start home on a different route, via Karkkila, then it's coffee #4 in Vihti, at Rantakioski with a view of, you guessed it, the rather lovely lake.

* Then head for home via Nummela - the road gets pretty fast after Veikkola for the last 25 km to Hel, so remember your earplugs.

* Ride is Protected content , I think that's our furthest so far. With 30 mins or 1 hours stops in each I guess we are look at 5 hours, so home by 17:00

* By the way I have just done this ride today, to check all these roads and places, and to my relief they are pretty much as I remember
