In the 1970s a circuit at Coega was used, before that area
became populated, and it was called the BINNEMAN CIRCUIT
in memory of the late Frans and Koos Binneman, two
brothers who started North Road Cycling Club in 1948 when
they moved to Port Elizabeth from Bellville.
Bellville Cycling Club was first named North Road Cycling
Club and they changed its name to Bellville. When the
Binnemans moved to PE, they decided, in conjunction with
some other cyclists in PE, to name the new club North
Road. The club went defunct in the early 90's when the
cycling population in Port Elizabeth started declining.
When Coega was no longer safe enough for racing, cycling
moved closer to PE and specifically to the Greenbushes and
Seaview area. It was decided by the EP Cycling Association
to name the circuit starting at Rathmead to Chelsea,
Theescombe, Cows Corner and Seaview, after the BINNEMAN
brothers.
Ray PRESSLY was associated with PE Cycling and Athletic
Club from the 1960s and he was also Chairman of the EP
Cycling Association for a time. The 22km circuit, which
now starts at Fairview, was named after him in recognition
of his services to cycling. The circuit then started west
of the N2 overhead bridge, and then up the Three Sisters,
left to Altona and back to the start - the same route
currently in use, only the start was different.
The circuit called PIKE CIRCUIT is in fact the POULTER
CIRCUIT, named after Cyril Poulter, another stalwart of
cycling. The circuit was named after him when he passed
away, replacing the name of "Pike Circuit".
The name "Pike" was given to the circuit by a
cyclist, Geoff Smith, a British immigrant who spent a few
years in Port Elizabeth, first with Spartan Wheelers and
then with Walmer Cycling Club.
He maintained that the circuit made "pike" of
the cyclists, after the fish that fed on or chased each
other - the cyclists were able to stay in the slipstream
of those in front, because the circuit is relatively flat
and it is difficult to shake off someone on your back
wheel. |
