Sometimes you have to tweak your cleats to get the tension that feels right. Mine have been too tight at times making them EXTREMELY hard for me to clip out of so I actually had to loosen them.

Nice work on 25 with/out falling! Watch for your quick stops... those are the ones that dump ya went your not expecting it! I love clipless...

I also have to agree with the riders above ( ColinL & Vuduchyld5) I also feel as though I get bettter power transfer from clipless! It also helps me to "pull" up on hill climbs, as well as "stirring" my spin on the straight aways!--
