look out!!!
I will be going to the rally from NYC, and would have done the trek to St Paul alone and by pavement .. which after reading this thread my plan seems utterly boring.
My original plan would have passed sault ste marie and I was wondering if there is a group I can join from here? I have not been on gravel on ages, so I might be a bit rusty.
brinkja, I live by Albany, NY so chances you might be passing by me to head up North. I will take two days taking the scenic was to Sault Ste Marie to meet the Giants, if you want to join me, you are welcome to it

Hey guys, sorry for the delayed reply, but this is how it works. People just hooking up for a ride
Claude Gagne of Ontario, The 2013 GS Giant, has volunteered to help facilitate the ride... and I will ping him off-line to check in on this thread. He is one helluva rider and a good leader.
Brinkja... I don't know if you've made your plans yet, but here's a suggestion for a nice ride to the Sault. Check out the Bruce Peninsula National Park in Tobermory, Ontario, Canada. You could get there from NYC in a day.
Get up early and take the Chi-Cheemaun Ferry over to Manatoulin Island.
This would be a nice Saturday/Sunday ride that would put you at the start of the GS Giant's Gypsy Tour right on time.
Now, where this start will be is still TBD, I am going to work with Claude and some local Michiganders to figure that out.
STAY TUNED!!!
