Paddy McGuinness Begins 300-Mile Charity Cycle for BBC Children in Need

Guided by Olympic cyclist Sir Chris Hoy, McGuinness sets off on a five-day journey from Wrexham to Glasgow on a modified Chopper bike.

Paddy McGuinness, a BBC presenter and comedian, has embarked on a 300-mile cycling challenge to raise funds for BBC Children in Need.
The journey started in Wrexham, Wales, and will conclude in Glasgow, Scotland, crossing through three nations and eight counties over five days.
McGuinness is riding a modified Raleigh Chopper bike, a nostalgic choice with only three gears, making the challenge significantly tougher.
Olympic champion Sir Chris Hoy, who is battling terminal cancer, has been a source of inspiration and training support for McGuinness.
Donations can be made via the BBC Children in Need website or through text, with all proceeds going directly to the charity.
