The sixth annual Share the Road with Carol memorial bike ride is scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 18.

The all-ages commemorative bike ride will be held in Windsor and Whitefield. The ride, which has 12-mile and 27-mile options, starts and ends at the Windsor Town Office, 523 Ridge Road.

This ride honors the memory of Carol Eckert, M.D. Eckert was killed as a result of a bike accident that occurred in Windsor on Oct. 10, 2016.

Biking was Eckert’s passion, and people are invited to participate in order to further the cause of bicycle safety in Maine, according to a news release from Christina Moylan.

There will be one rest stop on the 27-mile ride. After the ride there will be time for fellowship, remembrances and light snacks at the town office.

The registration fee is $20 for adults, and $10 for those younger than 15 accompanied by a parent or guardian. To register, visit bikereg.com or stop by the registration table between 7:30 and 8:30 a.m. at the event.

Current CDC guidelines relative to COVID-19 will be followed; participants are asked to wear face coverings inside the Windsor Town Office.

This ride is not intended to be a fundraiser, but revenue in excess of expenses may be applied to local bike safety and education efforts.
