'Cycling makes me feel good': Seven-year-old boy cycles 200-mile London to Paris to raise £35,000 in memory of his dad cycling
Earlier this summer seven-year-old Rupert Brooke completed London to Paris — a 200-mile bucket list ride for many cyclists — in memory of his father and raising £35,000 for a child bereavement charity in the process.
Rupert was joined by his mother Jess on the ride to raise funds for the Children's Bereavement Centre in Newark, Nottingham, where the family has been supported. "The bike ride from London to Paris went really well and it was just like going on a normal bike ride. Rupert found one part of the ride difficult when we went through Ditchling Beacon in South Downs as that is tough. But apart from that, he thoroughly enjoyed it and cruised into Paris as though he had lots more energy in the tank.Returning from the challenge Rupert rode a lap of honour alongside Ed Clancy at the Newark Town Centre races.
