It's a fair old distance for a weekend ride.

Small problem of a big sea in the way and a slow ferry.

I don't even know if a ferry runs to Norway (from the UK) anymore, so you're going to have to pretty much ride up most of Europe. Either Dover - Calais then up the way, or take a ferry from the NE to the Netherlands or Denmark. Then you'll make your way to Copenhagen, take the bridge across to Malmo then another long ass ride to Oslo.

You'll get rained on a lot, and it has even snowed in parts of Norge/Sverige already. Enjoy!

Get the ferry from near Felixstowe to Denmark. Ride up from there to a ferry from Hirtshals to Larvik. Then its an 85 mile ride from Larvik to Oslo.

There's a ferry from Copenhagen to Oslo; you could ride through Netherlands/Germany to Copenhagen then ferry it, or ferry from Harwich to Esbjerg then ride to Copenhagen for another to Oslo.

I did this ferry a few years ago. Apparently it sails whatever the weather and you can set your watch by its departure and arrival times. Sure enough we departed Copenhagen at 17:00 and sailed into a force 10, arriving in Oslo at 09:00 precisely.
