The brief history of the Pony Express, with riders like
Buffalo Bill who often traveled through 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 yesteryear. 
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 3rd group of riders from the Hudson Valley in N.Y. will join the ranks
On July1,2007 a 4th group of riders from Connecticut joined the Pony Express MC
Our Newest Family to Join on August 4,2007 are the group from Jersey City New Jersey
 

 All of these riders having the same ideas in mind, to help those in need. . 
We help with events like annual turkey and toy runs during Thanksgiving 
and Christmas. We were also involved in helping to raise money, 
to help find missing children. The Hudson Valley chapter did a book drive in
 April 2007 and collected over 3500 books for schools, nursing homes and even the county jail and they
 went throughout Orange, Ulster, Sullivan, Dutchess, and Putnam counties to deliver all the books.

Even though the saddled horses are now replaced with iron and
steel, the riders of the Pony Express Motorcycle Club are, like
their counterparts, proud, hard-working Postal workers who are 
looking to make a difference in our jobs and communities.

The Pony Express Motorcycle Club is not territorial and claims no territory. We are a family oriented club, Our members are City, State and Federal employees and many are Veterans of the United States Armed Service's. We respect all men except the enemies of our country and our free way of life.  We are not interested in joining, or interfering with, the affairs of others.  We desire only to ride our motorcycles in the company of our Brothers as Free Men in this Free land.
