Taylor Swift-inspired cycle from Paris to London for Rori


Riders wearing Taylor Swift-inspired outfits have completed a 300km bike ride in 24 hours for a seven-year-old girl.

The Ride for Rori saw them cycling non-stop from the Arc de Triomphe in Paris to Marble Arch in London.

For the past 20 months, Rori, from Appleton in Oxfordshire, has been battling cancer and just finished treatment.

The ride raised £61,000 for the Oxford Children’s Hospital, where Rori said staff had been “so helpful and so lovely”.
