I think I saw Johnny V waiting for at the light on Gen Hwg and Rt-32 exit ramp last month. Then again, I saw Elvis hitch hiking on I-70 at 6am while I was winging my way to the TOWC road race.
ReplyDeleteRumor has it that John has built up a sub 10lb TT bike, and will be unveiling it at Church Creek next month.
ReplyDeleteAnother possible Ver Bryke Siting!
ReplyDeleteThere are unconfirmed reports that a rider looking a lot like John very Bryke, and wearing Snow Valley kit, was spotted on General's Highway, by a group out on a Bike Doctor Annapolis ride. This same rider turned around and joined the leaders of the BK ride as they rode north, returning to the Bike Doctor store. The rider stopped to chat for awhile. At this time, we are unsure if this was REALLY JVB, as this rider appears rather heavier than JVB.
