Valley Preferred Cycling Center

The Valley Preferred Cycling Center (VPCC), also known as the Lehigh Valley Velodrome or simply T-Town, is a professional cycling center and a velodrome located in Breinigsville, Pennsylvania. It serves as the Lehigh Valley's main track cycling stadium. The velodrome is operated by a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization ''Velodrome Fund., Inc''〔 that promotes competitive cycling, youth fitness, and adult wellness activities for the Lehigh Valley. Over the years, the velodrome hosted various cycling championships. VPCC is the home of the World Series of Bicycling. The Velodrome annually hosts the USA Cycling Elite Nationals qualifying event. The center also features a Cycling Hall of Fame. Over the past 40 years, the center introduced tens of thousands of people to cycling, producing over 140 national champions, seven world champions, and three Olympic medalist. Marty Nothstein, a three-time world champion in track events and an Olympic gold and silver medalist, is currently executive director of Valley Preferred Cycling Center.
== History ==

The velodrome started as an initiative by Robert Rodale, a publisher and an Olympian, in the early 1970s. Rodale became interested in cycling while competing in the Pan-American Games in Winnipeg, Canada in 1967.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.lehighvalleymarketplace.com/departments/because-you-live-here/trexlertown/ )〕 In 1974 construction broke ground on the plot of land that was owned by Bob Rodale and his wife, Ardath.〔 The first race was held on October 12, 1975. The Velodrome was originally called the ''Lehigh County Velodrome'' or simply ''T-town'' (due to its close proximity to Trexlertown). The center underwent a number of renovations which added rest rooms, seats for the fans, a podium, showers, and changing rooms.
In 1995, the center underwent a major $2.5M renovations in preparation for the 1996 Summer Olympics cycling trials. In 2008, extensive repairs and resurfacing were done to the Velodrome.
In 2008, the town of Breinigsville offered land to expand the center to include a hall of fame. Today, the center is part of a 103-acre Bob Rodale Cycling and Fitness Park.
