Gravel is the New Gold | Episode Four on Youtube Now!

Bringing their own slice of Italy to the ranch lands of the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast in BC, cyclist Kelly Servinski and his wife Erin Yeo took a risk: selling everything to set up Canada’s first gravel bike hotel, ‘The Tutti Gravel Inn’.

Since we filmed earlier this year, the region has had an extremely challenging time with wildfires, including an evacuation order with homes and businesses lost. Thankfully the Inn is fine, but it’ll be a hard road ahead for the whole community.

So if staying at the Tutti Gravel Inn and visiting Clinton has been on your bucket list, now would be a great time to book and support them as well as the other businesses in the area!

Thanks to Kelly, Erin, and the amazing crew of creatives, riders and partners that made the trip (and this episode) a real special one for us:

In episode two, we get a glimpse inside the mind of @markabma 🪚 and what a pro skier gets up to during his summer off. Our main question is; HOW does he fit it all in?

Building eclectic cabin structures - cultivating orchards - boats, bikes and beyond - let’s get excited for an action packed piece, featuring Mark and friends, presented by @outdoorresearch 🛠️

Enjoy this teaser of what’s to come…

We caught up with @patvalade & @cloudimass - the masterminds and pedal power behind @squamishgravel.cc to hear a bit more about the club, and what it takes to hit the road every Thursday for 10 months of the year, rain or shine 🚲🗻

Watching the development of the SGCC over the last couple of years, and seeing the effort that Pat and Alex have put into bringing people together to ride, opening up new routes and growing the Squamish gravel scene is inspiring to say the least.

Here’s an excerpt from our chat, with the full interview to be published on the Guides site, along with others soon ✌️

‘A Drive Thru ‘’Time’’ (or ride in our case) was a fitting mantra. There’s as many interesting, exciting single tracks, FSR’s and gravel highways as there are vintage stores, museums and monuments from the history of Clinton 🕰️

Appreciation for horse power 🐎 riding amongst wild horses in Clinton is a good way to get dropped 💨 it’s also probably one of the single most amazing riding experiences you could have 🤯

If @kellyservinski did come back as a horse, we’d back him!

In amongst the wagons, F350’s and ATVs if Clinton, keep your eyes peeled for this small but mighty Fiat 🐎

The Tutti mobile is an injection of Italian passion in the middle of cowboy ranch land, and a mascot for all of the hard work that Kelly & Erin have put in to the Tutti Gravel Inn, and building a local trail network for us all to enjoy!

Our hearts go out to Clinton and @tuttigravelinn who had some very tricky and scary times to navigate over the weekend with forest fires and evacuations.

We recently spent time with Kelly & Erin in Clinton and got to know some of the locals, and took in the beautiful surrounding area.

Sending all of our love and support as the next few days rollout and we understand the full impact of the wildfires. by @guides_of
