going to north cape on june
 
my dream is riding through norway to the north cape and arrive there on 21 june, the longest day.
is the weather and roads on june make it possible, is there any snow on the road, too cold etc.
thanks

Do it! It's the best time to be there. Go slow.

August can already be too late, cold.

Did the run two years a go - we arrived in mid July. The night we were up at North Cape it was windy and chilly - there had been sleet on the evening of June 21st according to a couple of Australians we met in Bergen.

No snow on 21st June 2003 but damned cold at the cape. The E6 is not the most exciting road in Norway but you might want to consider an excursion to the Lofoten Islands on the way up or back.

By the way when you do your packing just remember you won't need a flashlight!

Cheers!

I can recomend to follow the road along the coast instead of the E6 if you have enough time and the weather is nice. The weather is the biggest problem if you want to see the midnight sun at the cape, a local told me that a few years ago the summer lasted 5 minnutes... But the nature is very nice even in bad weather.
