Bring the Worlds to Portland!
Bring The Community Together
Hosting the Road Cycling World Championships will bring the community together, re-energize the bike-movement, provide a lasting economic boost and showcase the region to millions of people around the world!
Like the Olympics, these athletes race for their countries, and in a city like Portland, where over 100 languages are spoken at home, it will lead to a very festive international community event!
