The fifth annual “Share the Road with Carol” memorial bike ride is scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 19.
The all-ages commemorative bike ride is to be held in Windsor and Whitefield. The ride, which has 12- and 27-mile options, starts and ends at the Windsor Town Office.
This annual ride honors the memory of Dr. Carol Eckert, who was killed in 2016 as a result of a bike accident that occurred in Windsor. Biking was her passion, and all who feel the same are invited to join in remembrance of Eckert and to further the cause of bicycle safety in Maine.
The registration fee is $20 for adults, and $10 for any person younger than 15 accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Register online at bikereg.com/share-the-road-with-carol or at the event between 7:30 to 8:30 a.m.; advance registration is encouraged.
Ride organizers will follow any COVID-19 safety precautions that are still required or recommended by the Maine CDC at that point, and participants are asked to wear face coverings inside the Windsor Town Office.
There will be one rest stop on the 27-mile ride. All are invited after the ride at the Windsor Town Hall for remembrances and light snacks.
