Part - 1

This is the first time I had been to Exeter, a ag town is seems with lots of orange ochards all around. Its known for world famous Rocky Hill which the time trial went up the hill and then back down to finish in exactly the same spot. Rocky Hill is easily seen from the highway at the very high elevations of Sequoia National Park. As you look out down over the vally on a clear day, possibly after it rains since clear days are a thing of the past, you can see this mountain sticking up out of the flat valley. Very odd it seems, as it is surrounded by flatlands and the foothills before the big mountains start, but it makes for a great view and the women say they loved the course, so they told me. It was green this time of the year, so the view was quite awe inspiring.
