You're very lucky, Finland is a great place to cycle! I cycled from Turku to Klipisjaarvi and back down to Oslo a couple of summers ago- felt like I was going downhill all the way.. Good luck anyway and just keep on thinking about the nice warm sauna and th freezing cold Karhu you've probably got waiting for you at home ;-)
