Hoping to stage a breakaway in the race to lure the U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame, officials on Tuesday offered to donate 12 acres of Lehigh County-owned land as the future site for the homeless hall.

The land is next to the Valley Preferred Cycling Center in Breinigsville -- known to locals as the velodrome -- and if all goes well it would be the site of a 22,000-square-foot center that would house the hall of fame and its museum of cycling memorabilia.

The land would be offered to the hall for $1 per year and the county would aid in fundraising to foot the anticipated $6.6 million construction cost. By getting out of the gate with their proposal early, officials hope to make an impression on the hall.

Although upset at what they called a lack of communication with the administration over new proposals, Lehigh County Commissioners gave the go-ahead Wednesday for the county to offer land for a new bicycling hall of fame.

While commissioners said they support the proposal to bring the hall of fame to the velodrome in Lehigh County, some called it a ''slap in the face'' that the initiative was announced by County Executive Don Cunningham before consulting the commissioners, who ultimately would approve any lease.
