But a lot of people love Egg Beaters for the trail so I have come to believe pedals are as personal as saddles. My husband is a die hard Time fan so to humor him I gave these a whirl.

Yesterday I rode again and find the disengaging much more intiutive. With Candies I was thinking of how to get my foot out. The Atacs are like my Keos on my road bike, light tension so I just pop out on demand.

I am growing a season of discontent with my SPDs... and DH is like C, all over Time. I think I might have to give them another go around. Problem is that I love my SPDs for ease of getting out of, it is the getting in that is taking forever. I am scared of the reverse with the Times. Hmmmm. I am hopeing to save up some RLAG swag gift certificates for some new shoes, maybe I will make the switch then. Riding tonight??
