Spencer's ride of the Pony Express Trail is sponsored by Heartland Health and the Mark Reynolds Fund, paid for by Gary and Dona Reynolds in memory or their son Mark, bike enthusiast.
Spencer Klaassen, a 43 year old pharmacist from St. Joe, will begin his journey across the Pony Express Trail on Sunday, August 24th. This will be the inaugural ride of the Pony Express Trail, a route Spencer developed three years ago. It is believed to be the longest route recognized by Randonneurs USA. A "randonneur" is a cycling enthusiast who rides with no support car and within a prescribed time limit.
Spencer will be sending in blog entries each day as he completes that day's riding. Check back here starting Sunday evening, August 24th, and follow Spencer as he braves the "Pony Express Trail."
