I use cycle.travel for planning, very user friendly. But use komoot for navigation via downloaded gpx file. The 2 together make excellent routes.

Hi Slauka
Your tent should be fine, perhaps share the make and model so people can give you better feedback. We have a nature hike 3 a it has kept us dry in all weather.
When our tent is wet and the next day is sunny we always get the tent out at lunch time and dry it off ready for the next night.
If there is a few rainy days we sometimes book a hotel sometimes we continue to camp, it is a individual choice.
I do not know about the animals but @Matthew Norway has survived a few years of cycling in Norway so can not to to dangerous.
Most say water in Norway is fine to drink but I always filter the drinking water just in case there is dirty water from farming.
Hope you have a great trip. We start in may to. Martin

Hi it sounds a wonderful adventure, we arrive in Norway late May and will be doing a southern loop. The thing we do differently is avoid popular cycle routes and tourist attractions, finding there is just as much to see on these less travel routes.
As Matthew says best to head north due to prevailing wind, the wind can be fierce up north. Out of interest what is your setup? As you are the same age as us do you go for comfort like us or speed?
Here is our loop I created to estimate distances and time.

Hi we are going at the same time, where is your start point ? We are leaving from Kristiansand. I have Pinnacle Colt 3 a 27 speed with suspension forks. Done a tour last year very comfortable ride loaded with about 20kg. Good luck with your search…

We use this to charge our power banks when camping, but if there are power points in kitchens etc think we can leave behind. Thanks for answer.

We had a cheap poncho, found it flapped around to much and we still got wet.
