I wonder if this little film is actually the Rosslyn Ladies?
Rosslyn Ladies
In 1922 many male-dominated clubs banned women riders from their ranks. Consequently a group of women set about forming a ‘Ladies’ club where they would be able to organise rides, time trials, track racing and social events for their members. The first President was Lady (what better title?) de Freece who was known in the music halls as Vesta Tilley - not a shrinking violet. In 1927 they organised their first track events for women and these were followed shortly afterwards by time-trials, amongst the first of which was a marathon 12-hour event. Along with several male clubs the Rosslyn Ladies built a bungalow-style club house in the Newport-Elsenham area conveniently close to the start of several time trials held on the nearby A11. The club still exists and organises rides and social events for its small band of members.
As far as I understand, the Pandora Ladies Racing Club never existed. Anybody know for certain?
My parents were part of the East End cycling scene in the 1940s and the old A11 through Epping would be packed with cyclists every weekend. Many were going to watch the time trials on the old E1 course at Newport / Ugley.
I heard about the Pandora women team. I think they were a real team, not a myth
I am cyclists girl 😂❤
Amazing footage, enjoyed every second, thanks :)
Sounds as if the commentary is by Eammon Andrews
I´m a big fan of girl cyclists.Flood the roads with em.
Wolf-whistling???? ...... not in 2022 old chap, tragically, that's now a criminal offence in England.
So you admit you're still stuck in the 1940s?

The girls look a little too chubby to be competitive cyclists.
Serious bicycle racers usually have very slim, wiry physiques.
It's more complex than that.
