It was a loosely designated path with a series of outposts for horseback riders to stop, rest, and swap horses as they raced to deliver letters across the country. It helped to deliver news of Lincoln’s election as president in under 8 days from coast to coast as the US geared up for a civil war. I find it laughable that back then it took 8 days for the information to travel across the country as fast as possible, when now a president can tweet whatever is on their mind for the entire world to see in an instant. Despite its impressiveness, the Pony Express was quickly outdone by the telegraph within 2 years of its conception. Now it remains as a preserved gravel route with some stations and plaques along the way to provide foolish bikers some context to the land as they haul their snow gear across a forbidding desert. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618efe64d28f834809a6ced7/ead389fa-7912-45d3-9120-64b1eed005f8/durango.jpg Blog - A West Desert Bike to Board Odyssey - Make it stand out Durango just wanted new friends https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618efe64d28f834809a6ced7/b0019498-b3be-4ad4-a582-cde4d016d04e/Camp+1.jpg Blog - A West Desert Bike to Board Odyssey - Make it stand out Camp 1.

There are only so many things to do, and doing them really makes a big difference when you move on. It’s like doing a bunch of little favors and preparing a bunch of gifts for my future self. I think all the luxuries of modern life make it easy to overlook these gifts for future me when I do chores in the modern world. I can let laundry stack up, I can get by on eating out, and I can scroll through my phone all day as each day blends into the next. Out there, I’m so so grateful for a clean pair of underwear and a week’s worth of meals and snacks prepared ahead of time. I’m always working to take that mentality back with me after these trips. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618efe64d28f834809a6ced7/c43afee6-13dc-41cc-b3c7-999c00ea078b/me+on+wheeler.jpeg Blog - A West Desert Bike to Board Odyssey - Make it stand out Head in the clouds on Wheeler.
