Road Opening Dates?
I am planning a bike tour for June or July, depending on road openings. Anyone have information on post-winter opening for Slettefjellvegen (part of Mjølkevegen), Tusenmeteren from Tyinvegen west of Vang i Valdres to Øvre Ardal, Tindevegen from Øvre Ardal to Turagrø, 604 and Fv334 from Gaupne to Nigardsbreen? My schedule is flexible but I’m looking to ride earlier rather than later. Thanks.

It is way too early to know when all these roads will open. Some have set opening dates such as Tindervegen which opens on 1st May. All official opening dates and everything I know about the roads you mention are listed here: https://cyclenorway.com/opening-closure-of-roads/
Gravel roads don’t usually have an official opening date. It all depends on several factors such as snowfall during winter. Currently, this winter snowfall has been below average and this may mean popular gravel roads open earlier than usual but nothing is guaranteed. Last year Slettefjellvegen opened early June and Jotunheimvegen open 30th May which was 20 days earlier than usual. But Tusenmeteren had snow still blocking part of it in early July.

Thanks, this information is very helpful. It looks like if I plan for mid to late June and July, I should be good except for Tusenmeteren. I assumed that one may be a problem, but I have a go-around planned.
