See all- SHARE THE ROAD WITH CAROL523 Ridge Rd, Windsor, ME
The ninth annual Share The Road With Carol is an all-ages commemorative ride planned for September 28, 2025 in Windsor and Whitefield, Maine to honor the memory of Carol Eckert, M.D. Carol was tragically killed as a result of a bike accident that occurred in Windsor on October 10, 2016. The ride has 12- and 27-mile options and begins and ends at the Windsor Town Office (523 Ridge Road). There is one rest stop on the 27-mile route. Start time is 9:00 AM.
This is a great opportunity to explore the rolling hills along the border of Kennebec and Lincoln Counties. Biking was Carol's passion. Whether you knew her or not, we invite everyone who feels the same to join in remembrance of a life well-pedaled and to further the cause of bicycle safety in Maine.
