The 2009 season has officially began for the Kenda/KMC/Hayes Professional Mountain Bike Team with the first round of the South Eastern Regional Championship Series in Gainesville, Florida. The weather was perfect for an exciting race. The Professional Men's race proved to be the closest of the day with Robert Marion grabbing second place sprinting with Florida native, Ryan Woodall, and third place competitor, Travis Livermon to the finish. The Women on the team did well, with Anina Aaron placing third place in the Professional Women's race, with Philicia Marion holding on to a top five finish. Chase Dickens, with a racing age of 15, competed in the Cat 1 19-29 category and grabbed the 4th place position. The team trailer was set up across from the start/finish line with many fans and racers stopping by to chat with the team and pick up stickers, brochures, and other promotional items. The team heads back to Florida next weekend to compete in the Squiggy 6-hour XC Race.
