A POPULAR, scenic cycling event is set to return this summer. This July, Iconic Cycling Events, which run several sportives over the country, will be bringing Bike Oxford back to the city after it was cancelled last year due to Covid. The sign-up for the event, which will take place on July 11, has now opened and places are selling fast. This year cyclists have the opportunity to choose where they start and finish, either starting at the Oxford Rugby Club and finishing at the Chipping Norton club or vice versa. Cyclists can choose what distance they want to ride, including either 25 miles, 50 miles, or 80 miles.
OXFORD’S largest scout group moved out of its home of 50 years this week after a three-year row with a parish council. The Fourth Oxford Scout Group said they were ‘evicted’ from their hut at the Louie Memorial Playing Fields in North Hinksey over a council development. The parish council plan, which has been years in the making, will see the existing pavilion and old scout hut demolished and replaced by a larger, more modern complex at the playing fields in Arnold’s Way. The argument reached a climax in December when Fourth Oxford revealed it had launched legal action against the council.
