Walt,
The cycling track for the 96 Olympic games in Atlanta was portable.I think after the Olympics plans were to set it up at temporary locations around the US.If I remember correctly the first such location was to be in Southern California.

IF this is the same track that Mike Frayse dragged up to Glen Spey, then it is a track that was used supposedly ( and this is what Mike said during a training camp at his house) that he was bringing a former track built for an olympics (96?) up to Glen Spey. But then again, I don't know how much of that was fantasy and how much was real.
