The day Helen started cycling!, originally uploaded by Phil Haygarth.
Today was one of those landmark occasions, Helen, aged 4 started riding her bike. It was all so simple in the end, I gave here some encouragement outside the house and she was off, totally confident, laughing when she fell down, fearless and stoaic. We wasted no time to get in the car and get down to the Lune minnellium cycle path with her brothers. The progress of the day was consolidated beautifully, when I stepped out of the house into the courtyard at dusk to call them in for bed, only to be passed by my daughter at high speed on her bike playing with other children at cops and robbers! Terrific. A great way to celebrate her late Grandpa's birthday. Happy birthday Dad, wish you were here. More pics and videos here from the day.

Brilliant work Helen. If anything is predictable about this it's your stoicism. All downhill form here (apart from your first three peaks cyclocross in 11 and a half years time. )
