Roop The Cyclist

I met Roop at the York Cycle Rally. An annual pilgrimage we both make.

We chatted for some time, comparing notes about all sorts...

Our favourite bikes (he'd just bought another mountain bike in the jumble tent for his grand-daughter)
Our favourite rides
Sikhs who cycle - not that many in the UK but on the increase (there's an annual ride from Birmingham to London)
Cycling and commuting
Our shared love for Leeds - he lives in Crossgates

Lovely impromptu encounter.
