Perranporth Cyclocross: First Race of the Year and a Podium for Sam

First race of the year done. I headed to the Perranporth cyclocross race with no expectations, just a bit of fun on a new-to-me course.

The course was proper fun, with off-camber sections, technical climbs, and stunning coastal views.
