-After many years of people mulling over the idea of an Oxford ride, the organising committee for OxNBR13 finally got together on 3 October in a fine watering hole and set out some ideas.  Proposals are still at an early stage and we are discussing dates - mainly aimed at making it available to students before they break up for summer.
-An agenda is being worked up for some of the most important tasks we need to do before we go public - eg deciding a date and liaison with the police.  We are also working on publicity strategy and hoping to have some flyers available for the Oxford Green Fayre in December.
-If you want to be a pioneer in this new venture rather than a sheepish follower, please add to this discussion list and let us know your interests.  We hope to set up an email address very soon.
-regards

-I have tried to find some interest in running an Oxford ride in the local Cycle Advocacy group: Cyclox, but failed.  I live near the Bucks/Oxfordshire border and would love to go to Oxford for a ride - last year I did Brighton and I may get the train to France and do one there if there is nothing local.

-I don't have a lot of time for organising - but I could have a go..with some help.

-'''Stop Press'''  Now is the time to put words into action! If you want to ride in OXFORD 2014, please contact me URGENTLY!
-I need twenty riders to commit to riding on the 15th JUNE 2014. If we can come together for a ride we can get by with the minimum of fuss. No need to have long drawn out meetings and discussions, we are just a bunch of cyclists out for a ride round town. But we will be making history in the process. So don't be shy step forward and lets go for it. Once I have the numbers I will contact the authorities for clearance. So over to you............Please visit oxfordriders@yahoogroups.com sign up as a member and we will give you all the information and support you need for a great day out. Looking forward to meeting you all. '''Mike'''

-A quick update! We now have a number of riders who want to take part in the 2014 Oxford ride. So it will take place. I am trying to get confirmation from the Police that they have no reservations, they are a bit slow in responding. The start point will be in Oxpens meadow, next to the Oxford Ice Rink. Assemble from 2:00pm for bodypainting etc. the ride will move off at 3:00pm Hope to see you all there. I will be attending the London ride as Lead Marshall for the Hyde Park start, so if you are there it would be good to meet you. Please spread the word!!
-==History==
- <!--about the history of events at this ride location --> There is no history of an Oxford ride until now. This year will go down in history as the first ever Oxford Naked Bike Ride (were you there!)
