Forté Campus Pedal
This past Friday I received a postcard from Performance Bicycle announcing their new Charlotte store, it doubled as a $20 dollar off coupon.
On Saturday morning I headed over there to check it out. I ended up buying the Forté Campus Pedal, since I’m not the only one that takes the mountain bike out for a spin, and a pair of Shimano SH-MT20 shoes.
Went out for an easy ride today, a sort of test run. The pedals work great, easy to get in and out of, I did increase the tension a bit from the factory settings. The shoes look and feel good, I just need to get used to a full circular pedaling motion again.
Rode for 13.98 miles, average speed was 12.0 mph.
Charlotte, NC
Spent 10 years in Charlotte, a block away from an entrance to the McAlpine Creek Greenway.
Switched to a mountain bike from the road bikes I was accustomed to riding for 15 years.
The time spent on these trails was most appreciated.
