Jackie made it safely to the East coast

Good afternoon all!

I will be guesting blogging for Jackie while she is on her ride because she will have (potentially) limited cell phone access and no internet access.

Last night I dropped Jackie at the Seatac airport for a 10:10pm (pst) flight. At approximately 8am (est) this morning Jackie arrived in New York after a very short layover in Denver. Due to the short layover Jackie's checked luggage did not make it onto the flight with her. After a reassuring conversation with a kind woman at baggage claim Jackie made her way to Penn Station (with the assertion that her bag would be delivered to her later in the day). The one up side of her bag being delayed was that she did not need to haul her bag along with her.

Currently Jackie is resting comforatbly at the home of Danielle's family in New Jersey as she prepares herself for her upcoming ride. Tomorrow (Friday) Jackie will head back into New York where she will pick up her bike and finally meet the organizers and other riders.

I'll continue to post updates as I hear more!
