Answer
Dear Phil,

I am sorry for the delay of this answer. I got four All Experts questions yesterday.

There are some hills on the route Tampere - Helsinki but not too many and not too big. Remember that it is forbidden to bike on freeways.

There are hostels in Tampere:

-Hostel Sofia: http://www.hostelsofia.fi or http://kiviranta.eu/hostelsofia/en_index.php

-Summer Hotel Härmälä: http://www.lomaliitto.fi/index.asp?resid=13

Unfortunately, I think that there isn't any youth hostel in Hämeenlinna region. However, you find other cheap and very nice (nicer than hostels, I think) accommodation possibilities in Hämeenlinna:

-Aulanko Holiday Centre: http://www.aulangonlomakyla.fi

-Apartment Hotel: http://www.huoneistohotelli.fi

-Myllytalo: http://www.myllytalo.fi

Welcome to Finland!

Jim
