The Flower Mart Criterium at Mount Vernon Place

A message from the organizers of the Flower Mart Criterium at Mount Vernon Place.

We are ONE.WEEK.AWAY, so here’s a little throwback to our very first edition of the race in 2019. The OGs will remember the wet and wild racing that day ( 💪🏼☔️)!

This is your reminder that pre-reg closes in *five* days. Don’t wait til the last minute to get signed up without day-of reg fees!

See you all NEXT WEEK!!

In the words of the great “you don’t life for be sad, no.” So, the choice is simple: sign up to race, have a blast with friends, achieve goals.

Registration closes in 8 days next Thursday, so smash that link in bio before it’s too late.

📣🏨LOCAL SPONSOR ALERT! 🏨📣

Okay, folks, this is a really exciting announcement for our latest local business support. We're thrilled to announce that Baltimore's coolest, buzziest, stylish new hotel, the Hotel Ulysses, has opened its doors to welcome racers to the Flower Mart Criterium! Hotel Ulysses is offering out-of-town racers a special rate, so come to Baltimore early, take in the sights, get a good night's sleep, and be ready to race.

Conveniently located in the heart of Mount Vernon, the Hotel Ulysses is a mini-palace waiting for you. Drop by their bistro, Ash-Bar, for some pre-race nutrition (or post-race celebration!), or have a drink (after the day's racing ends, of course) at their swanky cocktail lounge, Bloom's.

If you would like to reserve a room, please contact us here via DM or by e-mail at [email protected].

See you all on May 7! Don't forget to register at https://www.bikereg.com/fmcritbaltimore and/or sign up to volunteer at https://www.tinyurl.com/fmcritvols
