British Pathe synopsis: Two women tinker with their motorcycles M/S and C/U. The girls sit astride their motorbikes. C/U of one of the women who is wearing a leather coat and hat. C/U of the other girl, they both smile broadly. They have a couple of male companions. Man brings down a flag and the girls set off on their bikes. They move away from the camera over a field and up a steep hill. Various shots of the girls riding cross country. Men stand at the top of the hill to watch the race. A man waves a flag on a stick when one reaches the top. "Reneé reached the top in just three minutes - another triumph for Eve!" She shakes hands with a judge. She laughs and looks at the camera. - Researcher Comments
