TV presenter Paddy McGuinness has said Sir Chris Hoy pushed him to his “absolute limits” when they trained together ahead of his ultra-endurance cycling challenge for BBC Children in Need.
McGuinness, 51, is set to ride nearly 300 miles (483km) when he sets off from Wrexham in Wales later, before aiming to arrive at the finish line on Friday in Glasgow, Scotland.
“Chris Hoy has been absolutely, as you can imagine with someone like him, outstanding, first class, brilliant with his advice,” McGuinness said.
“When I go on a bike ride with Chris, I really know about it, because he pushes me to my absolute limits,” he added.
