In 7mesh’s second episode of Reconnecting, Tuft follows the gravel gold into the high country of the Cariboo, a remote and diverse range of landscapes in the Coast Mountains that boasts some of the best gravel in the world. Tuft meets up with ex-pro mountain biker Kelly Servinski, owner of Tutti Gravel Inn, a bike-friendly bed and breakfast nestled in the historic town of Clinton, BC.
