It's day three in Davis and while Will spent his first day at a new job, I spent most of the day riding my bike around town. I rode to the bookstore, the law library, Rite Aid, the student union, and back home to the hotel. Will picked up a new bike at the local bike shop after work, so in the evening we rode to dinner and then through the campus. The weather was perfect, especially in the evening, and we rode under lots of pretty trees by the arboretum and down quaint little bike paths.
In total, I rode about 8 miles today. It was quite nice, in theory, what with all the little squirrels running around and the nice wide bike paths, but all I could think about those last few miles? How much the damn bike made my ass hurt.
I wonder where the bus picks up.
haha
you need a seat cover.

Do you remember those Charmin commercials? How soft, quilted and padded the paper is? ;)

You can probably just buy a new bike seat. I know my bike hurts my ass too.
Where exactly is UC Davis?

See, that's another nice thing about Davis. The bus stops are EVERYWHERE. The buses are a little unreliable if you want to hop on 5 minutes before your class (they're not always on schedule, so I would take the bus at the earlier time), but no matter where in town you are, there's a bus stop near by.
And this is bad, because this is making me want to move back. =)

I keep coming by to hear the stories of your new life that is beginning. I'm so excited for you!
You're gonna rock law school, promise.

I love that you are riding your bike everywhere & that you are able to do that because Davis is so bike-friendly. I am envious! I am sure your butt problem will get better with time!

8 miles!! I am in awe. I can barely for 1 mile on a stationary bike, at the gym :(

How is Will liking the new job? Is he teaching again?
Hope your hiney feels better -- maybe it will just become numb to the constant pain from riding your bike around town.

I just started biking too! The seat is like a pair of heels... you've just gotta break it in.
