Chris Walker is a late convert to road cycling, having purchased his first proper road bike via the Cycle To Work scheme in 2009 aged 59 and got well and truly hooked. Since then, Chris has managed to complete, very slowly, La Marmotte, Mont Ventoux, London to Paris, the Quebrantahuesos, the Etape du Tour and two Prudential RideLondon 100s - and sometimes wonders why on earth he bothered.
Chris is also a keen member of his local club, Team Milton Keynes, and enjoys shouting at fellow club members who half-wheel, ride three abreast and do other stupid things. He has blogged for British Cycling in the past.
Despite his advanced years, Chris is still in full-time employment to fund his cycling habit. His bikes are a Trek 1.9 and a Ribble Sportive Racing, plus a half-built time trial bike in his garage which has been languishing there for three seasons.
