General Info on ECCC 2002:
The Willamette Valley's largest bicycle race is back and better than ever. With the 20th anniversary
of the festival, the organizing group Downtown Events Management, Inc and Jim Anderson have worked
to bring back a downtown criterium to the event. This year it's happening! The course is close to
the festival site and should attract many spectators. Along with a new criterium there is a new road
race and time trial course. We are very excited to present these new courses and believe it will be
the best Cycling Classic to date.
