DELIVERED BY PONY EXPRESS! 🐎💌 After 3,217 kilometers from St. Joseph, Missouri, to Sacramento, California, Lachy arrived at the historic Pony Express Terminal at 11 p.m. local time, just 6 days, 21 hours and 15 minutes after setting off. He finished 19 hours and 45 minutes ahead of the record pace set on horseback by the riders who delivered Abraham Lincoln’s inaugural address from Missouri to California on the route of the Pony Express back in 1861. Lachy set out inspired by the courage of those original riders, who ventured into the unknown to connect communities across a vast and rugged country. More than 160 years later, he found that same spirit in the people he met along the way, from small towns in Nebraska and Wyoming to remote communities in the Nevada desert. Their courage is still there. The United States is still being built. Chapeau, Lachy!

Over halfway there, another state crossed, and smooth sailing on a beautiful fall day in Wyoming. 🍂 Lachy is heading into Utah with close to a 400-kilometer lead over the Pony Express’ fastest time. The gap is growing, but some of the toughest terrain of the ride still lies ahead. Head to efprocycling.com to track Lachy’s progress.
