Unpaved tells the story of Adventure Rider Golnoosh Namazi and her experience finding herself, and her passion, on the roads less traveled along Route 16.
Golnoosh Namazi’s JourneyThe trip of a lifetime is waiting for you!
The people we meet, the places we see, and the things we experience on the ride are why we leave home in the first place.
Find your line along the lifeblood of Northern BC.
Route 16 perfectly intersects through the middle of British Columbia, running east to west from Mount Robson to Prince Rupert. The highway binds the communities along it together through the vast wilderness, changing scenery, and plentiful wildlife.
BC rides know no bounds.
In addition, the nature and environment through which your bike passes are truly astounding, making the rider feel the freedom of the open road on two wheels. Less traffic allows for an uninterrupted experience of the true culture and history along the Route.
Stops that’ll knock your socks off.
There are well over a dozen stops to make throughout the journey to discover our pioneer past, the fur trade, the railway, our local First Nations, and present industry.
