Il Peloton Open House
The Il Peloton Open House Party will take place on Saturday, April 12 from 5:30 until 9 pm. The address is 176 Concord St. South, Ottawa Ontario near Main St & Lees Avenue Click here for directions
Everybody is invited to come by for free appetizers, drinks and socializing. This is an opportunity for us to welcome all skaters for the season and to thank them for their past and future support. The new 2008 product lines will be on display for those interested in new equipment or otherwise just curious about what's new. Il Peloton staff will be on hand to do personalized fittings and heat moldings.
One of the wild & wonderful things we will have on offering at the
Il Peloton Open House is these Matter Orange EMT wheels:
 |
This wheel is the fastest wheel in the Matter lineup, bar none. Their uncompromising roll makes them the perfect wheel for the smooth pavement such as the Gilles Villeneuve racetrack. These wheels are only available in Europe...and at Il Peloton. You will ONLY see them at the Open House, so if you want a pair, that's the place to get them. |
Design Canada!

(to enlarge click on the skinsuit)
Design #12 will become the suit for the Canadian World/Pan Am Team and will undergo modifications to meet the teams’ requirements. We will be posting a picture of the final version of the suit when it is completed.
Design #20 will become what we call the Official Canada suit. It has already been given some finishing touches, including the application of elements from Design #4, a very popular design in the competition. You can see the final version of the Official Canada suit below:

This suit will be available for sale at Il Peloton, including on the website, starting in March 2008. Matching jerseys and shorts will also be available a little later on in the season. Anyone who wishes to represent Canada while racing or skating anywhere in the world now has the ability to do so. Proceeds from the sale of this clothing will be donated by Il Peloton to support the athletes on the 2008 Canadian World Team.
Once again, a huge thank you to all of the people who contributed, visited and voted. It has been a fantastic experience and we are very proud to have been part of it!

Sergio Almeralla, one of the owners of Il Peloton, is co-ordinating the registration and arrival of foreign skaters to this event. Sergio now lives in Canada, but was the Silver Medalist overall in Mexico in 2002 and continues to maintain close ties with the Mexican skating community. This will be the 3rd year that Sergio has co-ordinated the attendance of an international delegation at the event.
Sergio will take care of your registration with the Mexican Federation, help you with local travel arrangements, and make sure that foreign skaters arrive safely at the track in Tuxtla. He can even pick you up at the bus station or airport.
