Central Michigan University alumnus and emeritus faculty member Lawrence Sych completed the 28-mile Ore to Shore Mountain Bike Epic from Negaunee to Marquette on August 10th in 3 hours, 9 minutes, and 15 seconds.
The Ore to Shore is one of the Midwest’s premier mountain bike events in the heart of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The annual event attracts mountain bikers of all ages. The course features rolling hills, hard-packed dirt, grass, and gravel.
“My first time racing on a mountain bike at different moments proved exhilarating, terrifying, and challenging,” said Sych. “What an exciting way to spend a Saturday morning!”
Sych is a graduate of Central Michigan University (’78, B.S.), Oakland University (’81, M.P.A.), and Michigan State University (’86, M.A., ’87, Ph.D.). He taught public budgeting and finance, state and local government, and program evaluation in the Department of Political Science and Public Administration (now the School of Politics, Society, Justice and Public Service) at CMU before retiring in the fall of 2021.
