My work schedule did not permit the time to work on the route, meeting spots or ending spot.<br />2. I was sorely disappointed the actions of some over enthusiastic mustang owners on the frontage road after the Dumbarton Bridge. For weeks after the 2007 Gallop I was hearing horror stories of the side showing and near misses that I did not witness.<br />3. I needed to go up to Oregon for Mother’s Day weekend. And the Gallop is always the Saturday before Mother’s Day.<br /><br />The Gallop Around the Bay 2009 will be a go; but under a much changed format. We will be using the Gallop as a children’s charitable fund drive. Some of the ideas we’ve considered are:<br />1. By invitation<br />2. A minimum donation requirement <br />3. Sign in with name and licence plate numbers<br />4. CHP participation and escort<br /><br />So, as for the apology. I’m sorry that I did not post it here. I did post on a few other sites but have not been as active on the web as in years past (new job responsibilities, moving households and changes in personal life). I also apologies that some people have taken it upon themselves to organize another Gallop with consent from me or other Gallop organizers and any confusion that they may have caused. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>EPIK</b> <br /><small>Member # 7481</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2008,4,18,0,0,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Thanks for posting this.
