A family of five pedalled back to their home in southwest Calgary on Aug. 23, 13 months after rolling off to bicycle around North America.Rick and Tanya McFerrin cycled 14,000 kilometres through Canada, the U.S. and Mexico with their sons Sampson, 9, Markos, 7, and Tarn, 5.
"It's been amazing to be with Tanya and the kids 24/7 for a year," Rick McFerrin said while his family ate a picnic lunch on a concrete pad outside the Millarville General Store. "It's reinforced our feeling that we're an adventurous, creative family."
The McFerrins are veteran tourers who once spent two years cycling around the world. They hit the road with their boys on July 15, 2009, heading west from their home in southwest Calgary on two bicycles: one a tandem with Tanya in the front and Markos in the back, and the other a tandem with a "tagalong" third bike. Rick steered the second bike, with Sampson and Tarn behind.
