The People Behind the Push.

David Plant.

Marketing & Communications:

Hailing from parts unknown, Dave Plant is a long time friend of Kyle Balagno's who bears a striking resemblance to a certain Hollywood A-lister (which he is sick of hearing about).

What concens me most about the trip is the nudity in the rider van.

I agreed to be a part of this because I own a marketing firm in Toronto, and H2V provided me the perfect outlet to showcase my business on the west coast. Since most of the leg work was done, it was simply a matter of getting my logo on the printed materials.

The first thing I am going to do when we reach Vancouver is break open the watermellon that I will have been filling with gin the entire trip and pass it around to the guys. I don't think Matt, Rich, Will or Keith will drink it, but I know Kyle will.



Leslie Bowling.

Rider Therapist

Leslie joins the H2V riding team with the explicit responsibility of keeping the riders healthy and limber during their trek.

What concerns me the most about the trip is being with 5 guys for 9 days in a 3 by 10 space with poor ventilation. What's even more awkward is that one of the riders has a tatoo /foot fetish and I have a big tatoo on my left ankle.

I agreed to be part of this trip because I have never crossed Canada and this opportunity enabled me to do that. As well, since I am the closest person to an athletic therapist the riders have, I was able to get the time off without using my vacation time.

The first thing I am going to do when we arrive in Vancouver is sprint as fast as I can away from the rider van into the gardens of Stanley park in an attempt to restore my sense of smell.
