How long will you be roaming the Scandinavian roads? If you have the time, you should see the west coast of Norway. A lot of scenery and twists and turns. Try to make it to the atlantic road if you can. Beautiful in good weather, spectacular in bad. :rockon:

The trip will be 14 days. But 1 day will be down the south of England for the ferry and a day back up as we stay in Edinburgh. So have 12 days over there.

So you'll problably enter Norway from Bergen or Stavanger, then. That is a very good start for a tour of the west coast. I would recommend that you at lest get to see these sights (in no particular order):
- Prekestolen (view point near Stavanger)
- The Atlantic Road (road by the North Sea)
- Geiranger (beautiful fjord)
- Trollstigen (very twisty and steep road)
- Jotunheimen (mountains)
- Vigelandsparken (park in Oslo)
- Lofoten (beautiful coast line)
- Nordkapp (northernmost point of Norway)
There are a lot of other sights worth seeing, but if you can incorporate at least 4-5 of the mentioned places, you'll get the essence of Norway. If you can accumulate a list of 10-12 places to see, you'll have a great ride.
Keep me posted about your tour plans, and I'll see if I can help you. If you get to Oslo on your Tour de Scandinavia, we could meet up. :thumbup:
Please note that the ride from Bergen to Nordkapp is approx. 2350 kms according to Google Maps. The roads on the northern part of Norway may be boring, long and winding. I would venture no further north than Tromsø unless Nordkapp and the sami people is a Must See for you.

It looks like we are only going 2 have 2 days in Norway. As there is other things that we want to see in the rest of Europe. Where is Trollstigen that sounds really good but can’t find it on the map?

Norway is a country with lots of fjords and mountains, and few roads going straight ahead. Thus, it takes time to travel off of the few major roads.
I have tried to use Google Maps to show one alternative route that will take you from Bergen to Åndalsnes, the first "city" (in quotes, as it is probably too small to be a city) after you drive down Trollstigen. The route is here.
If the map and route is visible, Bergen is marked A, Geiranger is marked B, Trollstigen is marked C and Åndalsnes is marked D. Total distance is 456 kms, and you have to take one or two ferries. Driving from Bergen to Åndalsnes is an all day event, in other words. From Åndalsnes you can drive on pretty decent roads down to Oslo and into Sweden the next day. Åndalsnes -> Oslo would probably be approx. 5-6 hours.
You really should google "Geiranger Pictures" and "Trollstigen Pictures" to see what these places are all about.
One thing you have to be aware of is that parts of the road from Bergen to Åndalsnes may be closed for the winter season until the beginning of May, and sometomes even longer. Trollstigen itself is closed during winter. Be sure to check this before you leave if you want to see this part of Norway.
To avoid racing through Europe and end up not really seeing anything, I think I would lower my ambitions and try to visit fewer places and see more of each place. Just my 2 cents, though...

That did not work very well then. I had tried to put each day on the map but it did not work very well (or atoll). Day 1 we are going from just outside Edinburgh where I stay down to Newcastle upon Tyne and getting a ferry over to Amsterdam over night. Day 2 we are get in 2 Amsterdam and going to go out over the big bridge and ride up to Flensburg. Stay at a camp site. Day 3 we are going up to Skagen before going down to get the ferry from Hirtshals over Oslo. Day 3 we are going to Stavanger. Day 4 we are going to Geilo. Day 5 is off down to Stockholm to get the overnight ferry to Riga in Latvia. Day 6 is out of Latvia and throw Lithuania and down to Warsaw in Poland. Day 7 we are staying in Poland and ride down to Krakow. Day 8 it is time for the Czech Republic and a night out in Prague. We are going 2 see the church of bones on the way there. Day 9 we and get to Frankfurt, Germany when the hangover has gone away. Day 10 off to Luxembourg were going to camp out in northern Luxembourg this night. Day 11 it is time to go back to the UK. Getting the euro star and then staying in the south ester of England that night. Day 12 we are going in to Wales. Day 13 the last day is up the back roads to Edinburgh.

I was able to get working URLs from your post:
Oslo - Stavanger
Stavanger - Geilo
Geilo - Stockholm
Looks like you'll get a good view of Norway, with fjords, mountains (sort of), plains, cities and smaller places. A very good choice of route I must say.
Be aware that the trip from Geilo to Stockholm is calculated to over 10 hrs, and with stops for food, petrol, sights and whatever you will be riding from sunrise to sunset (the sun sets at about 9-9:30pm).
I'm sure you'll have a good time, and that it will be an epic trip. Respect! :rockon:

On that 2nd day we are going to ride as far as we can but that is just a places on the map that we found so it might not be as far the next day

That's a pretty ambitious schedule (though with some luck it'll work). I would however, have a backup plan, should you suffer a day-long delay somewhere.
