Mt. Pleasant Woman Gearing Up for Le Tour
Published in The Morning Sun on Thursday, June 09, 2011

Melissa Lackie is excited but a
bit nervous about what she will
be doing Saturday.
Lackie, 27, of Mt. Pleasant
was gearing up Wednesday
for the Le Tour de Mont
Pleasant business relay race,
practicing at Finch Fieldhouse
at Central Michigan University.
Lackie is thrilled to be biking
in the event, but is slightly
nervous because she has
never competed in a bicycle
race before.
Lackie, who does production work for Mid Michigan Industries, is using a hand bicycle on loan from CMU and will be the anchor for MMI’s team in the business relay, a community event with teams of four from local businesses competing beginning at noon Saturday in downtown Mt. Pleasant.
Businesses entering the race must pay $50, with proceeds being donated to the charity the winning team chooses, MMI Assistant Director of Community Employment Shad Welke, who is also on the MMI team, said.
Welke and Mary Lou Schilling of CMU Recreation were on hand Wednesday to cheer Lackie on as she biked laps in the gymnasium, readying for Saturday’s race, where she is the last person on the MMI relay team and gets to cross the finish line.
Lackie hasn’t owned a bicycle in some time, but she likes CMU’s hand bike so much she’s thinking about getting one for herself.
Wearing red,white and blue biking gloves, lackie easily operated the hand petals, brakes and gear shifter on the bicycle’s seat during her practice session Wednesday.
This weekend marks the first year MMI is participating in the business relay race, Welke said.
When Lackie began practicing Wednesday, Schilling was jogging along side her and had to “kick it into high gear” to keep up.
