For 14 years, Arlington has hosted top-level professional cyclists competing in on a hard and fast course through the heart of Clarendon. Check out the action this Saturday.
As it has for the past 14 years, Arlington's Clarendon neighborhood will host another edition of Air Force Cycling Classic Clarendon Cup. This professional cycling race takes place on a tight and winding course threaded through Clarendon along Wilson, Washington and Clarendon boulevards.

The tight and twisty circuit is great for spectators, as the entire course is accessible in just a few steps. In fact, it can be enjoyed from the outdoor seating areas of a number of local restaurants (my nod for best views goes to those outside Liberty Tavern). The amateur races start at 8 a.m., the women's elite race starts at 10 a.m., and the men's pro race kicks off at noon. There's a very popular children's "race" at 11:30 a.m. that is free and open to kids 9 and under (register …
