The 51-year-old TV presenter, who cycled from Wrexham, Wales to Glasgow, expressed his emotional journey, stating he 'cried his eyes out' during the ride due to the overwhelming support from fans. He described surreal moments along the route, including interactions with supporters and even witnessing Sir Chris Hoy performing at a service station. McGuinness's ride drew crowds at various stops, where he engaged with fans, further motivating him to push through the pain.
