The brief history of the Pony Express, with riders like Buffalo Bill who often traveled hostile Native American territory. The riders carried mail a distance of nearly two thousand miles in about eight days. Stations where the riders changed horses were roughly ten to fifteen miles apart. After a certain distance was covered, the mail was turned over to another rider.This continued until their destination was reached. It started in April of 1860 and lasted until around October 1861, when the first telegram was transmitted. The Pony Express was then gradually discontinued.

The 5 Chapters of the Pony Express Motorcycle Club rekindles the magic of the original Pony Express of yesteryears. The re-birth of the new Pony Express began in New York on September 17, 2000 and on March 20, 2005 a group of postal workers from Colorado came on board, and on August 17, 2006 a third group of riders from the Hudson Valley in New York joined the ranks, and on July 1, 2007 a fourth group of riders from Connecticut joined the ranks. Our newest family to join on August 4, 2007 are from Jersey City, New Jersey.
