Historic Ride Begins: Pony Express Re-Ride launches from Old Sacramento The Pony Express Re-Ride began in Old Sacramento, launching a 1,966-mile horseback relay to St. Joseph, Missouri. Riders will travel 24 hours a day for 10 days, retracing the historic mail route that once connected the East and West Coasts before the era of email. Volunteers will carry 1,200 commemorative letters along the original 1860 trail. The journey continued from Sacramento to Folsom and the El Dorado “Y” on Highway 50. #PonyExpress #OldSacramento #HorsebackRelay #HistoricReenactment #SacramentoEvents #PonyExpressTrail #AmericanHistory #Folsom #ElDorado #MailHistory
