Pony Express Has Been Run

Outside reports on Karl Meltzer's accomplishment. I and some other under-medicated individuals had done the last leg of the route, from Martinez to Oakland, twice a few years back. And Karl didn't do that part...what do you say Karl? Meet you at the train station in Martinez? :)

Pony Express Re-Ride This June

Turns out that they already "re-ride" it. Info here; info on our run of the last leg from Martinez to Oakland here.

Return of the Pony Express Route

That Pony Express route just won't leave me alone. I ran across a set of outstanding photos by some offroad folks who did a piece of the Pony Express in Utah. I posted on the thread to let them know that people have been inspired to similar feats (at least on foot and I would wager on bikes as well) and it might be good fun to join up for a cross-country offroading/biking/running triathlon to do the whole Pony Express route, maybe for a good cause. It would be a blast. Hood-to-Coast would seem passé!
