Race DescriptionsGatesOpenFridayQuiet camping under the stars on the V6 ranch! We'll be staying up late and waking up early again this year toget more people registered. We'll have the college kids separated from families and early birds as usual. All non-collegiate racers get a BBQ ticket included with their race!

CrossCountryParkfield has just the right brew for you. All courses come with our own flavor: narrow single track, big lung

busting fire road climbs and long, screaming fast descents.DualSlalomTwo courses all the way down means the battle isnt over until the very end. Big berms and jumps make this onesweet course. One qualifying run. The 16 fastest qualifiers in each category will go head to head in singleelimination rounds. Fastest qualifier in each race gets lane choice.

ObservedTrialsBrand new to the Parkfield Classic, we will be having an unofficial observed trials competition and demonstrationthis year. Come show off your precision riding skills on this awesome course. Several sections will be offered,each with a beginner and advanced line. Judging will be done by your fellow riders. Rules on bike setup will berelaxed, so mods and stocks will compete together.

ShortTrackFast paced and action packed XC racing that is as fun to watch as it is to race. Laps will be around the same

course as last year with long fast sections as well as some more challenging technical areas. USAC racers willrace with corresponding collegiate category due to time constraints.

DownhillWhen we brew downhill, we use nothing but heaps of fresh single-track. We enrich the flavor with flowing turns,high speed G-outs, and exciting drops. Single Run format. Bypass options are given for most obstacles. Ridersare encouraged to wear protective gear as necessary.

BBQprovidedbyParkfieldCafThis year's BBQ will take place both Saturday and Sunday by the slalom course so you can sit down and cheerfor your racers. $5 for a delicious cheeseburger, chips, and a tasty beverage. Non-Collegiate racers get a freemeal with each day they race.

The V6 Ranch in Parkfield, CA is generously loaned to the racers of the Parkfield Classic year after year. Please make iteasy for us as race promoters and easy for our hosts by being safe and picking up your trash. Pack out what you pack in.

The Cal Poly Wheelmen Cycling Club is a grassroots collegiate cycling club and racing team. We strive to put on the bestraces year to year, while offering an opportunity for new students to host the race. Parkfield Classic is the clubs primaryevent, and nothing else comes close in scale. Increasingly, as the event grows, and university regulations change, we must

improve and tighten the race. Our Medical plans and preparedness are second to no collegiate race, our registration systemis custom built, the best awards, and the greatest looking t-shirts. However, please excuse the increasing volume ofpaperwork and the rising costs as they provide for better insurance and better medical coverage.

Parkfield is legendary, but some things can bring it to its knees. Races may be cancelled in the event of rain. No refunds inthe event of inclement weather.

Parkfield is a remote area-considered not rural, but wilderness. That's part of what makes camping so enjoyable beingable to see stars and listen to the wildlife (not the college kids, the animals...) BUT, Please take every precaution. On-site wehave incredible EMTs with years of experience, but an ounce of prevention will save you tons of pain in Parkfield. Payattention to the trail, ride within your ability, and be extra cautious off the course.

Have a great weekend, and thanks for being here when it happens!
