U.S. Cycling Facility Coming to Downtown Winston-Salem - the National Olympic Cycling Center!!!

Lambert Architecture posted on their Facebook page  that they would be remodeling 505 N. Liberty Street so that it could become the National Olympic Cycling Center, similar in its association with USA Whitewater's National Training Center in Charlotte, NC. There are only 16 such National Training Centers in the U.S. Landing the Center seems to be the work of Richard Rouck, the chairman of the Winston-Salem Classic cycling event, Mayor Allen Joines, and of course USA Cycling. Lambert's architectural mock-up posted on their website depicts the Olympic Rings displayed prominently on the 5th Street building! Yeah! I imagine this will do wonders for the Winston-Salem Classic as well.
