August 19, 2024,Helsinki – Seurasaarenselkä & Laajalahti

After a short drive from my hotel near the main station via Bana to Töölö, I stopped off at Café Regatta as usual for refreshment. Highly recommended. I skipped the Seurasaari museum island because cycling is not allowed there. But a visit on foot is worthwhile in summer and winter!
Then continue anti-clockwise around the huge bay in the west …

I actually wanted to start at 7:00 a.m., but the sky was still completely overcast. An hour later, it cleared up, and everything was perfect. This trip is a true dream. It was my second time, and as always, I went in the opposite direction. In Töölö, I stopped at Café Regatta.
I highly recommend this tour!

Let's test that again: cycling with an additional energy boost 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️...

Despite the heavy rain from the start and ice hands after the first 3 km, we actually got our money's worth today. Because on this tour nothing is neglected apart from the sun's rays 😅...
