I've only been round Norway by car, and that a few years ago. Brillant biking roads, though I'm only talking about those within a couple of hundered miles or so of Bergen. Not a country for covering vast distances in one go, though, and I believe that speed limits can be enforced zealously. Beer is costly unless it's of gnats-piss strength, but a bottle (or two) of duty-free whisky helps. Even if you don't drink the stuff yourself, it's great for making friends with the Norweigians, who really appreciarte it.

Norway is supposed to be excellent for riding.  I've only got as far a Sweden so far.  Took the Chunnel and rode as far as Hamburg the first day, then up mthrough Denmark and over to Sweden.  Can take the same sort of route for Norway or take a ferry direct and then start the ride.
