A wide blue river fills one side of the print. Red buildings line the streets beside it, with green hills rising behind town.

In 1887, Clarksville hosted a world championship bicycle race. The Missouri Encyclopedia tells how racers and spectators arrived by train and steamboat. The broad river on the print helps set that scene. On May 23, riders faced five laps of a gravel loop. The course ran from Clarksville through Calumet, Aberdeen, and Turpin before returning. Steep hills and deep potholes made the ride a hard one.
Most racers rode bikes with a huge front wheel and tiny rear wheel. These were hard to get onto and hard to stop. Boston's Robert Neilson won in six hours, forty-six minutes, and twenty-seven seconds. One racer, Louis de Franklin Munger, rode a tricycle. He took more than ten hours but broke the American three-wheel record. Clarksville held another national championship race on the Belt Road in 1962. That marked seventy-five years since the 1887 race.
