(Wilmington, MA- Jan 2008) Pedro’s, the one of the industries most dedicated supporters
of messy, New England style Cyclocross, is proud to have helped sponsored athletes Tim
Johnson and Katie Compton clean up the competition in Kansas City, KS last month
during the US National Cyclocross Championships.

The cold and snow earlier in the week broke into blue skies for the Elite races on Sunday,
December 16th but, along with warmer weather came the mud. “Cross is the perfect testing
grounds for our products” said Pedro’s R and D guru Alex Vaivars. “Cold, snow and mud are
all part of the norm in cross. And if you want to win, you need to keep the bike running clean
and smooth”.

Compton, winning her fourth consecutive National Championship rode away from the
competition, beating all but one rider by more than one minute. Johnson, taking his second
National title, had his work cut out for him, battling with World Championship silver medalist,
Jonathan Page, until the last lap when he was able to attack and make the most of the clean line
in front of him.

Look for these and other Pedro’s athletes as they head to Italy this month for the World
Cyclocross Championships.
