Riding without stabilisers.

A special moment in any boy's life....and also his mummy's!

Harry should have been off his stabilisers last summer but a major operation and house move got in the way, so today was the day we decided it was time to de-stabilise and go for it. Operation Bike ride took place in glorious sunshine on the smooth surface of Marlborough College first eleven cricket pitch.

After a frustrating and exhausting first ten minutes, he suddenly got it and went zooming off into the distance. Here he is, charging back, grinning his head off! Fab moment!
