 So welcome back to the 33rd edition of the RCA training tip show where today, I have some very big news to share with you. In fact, three big pieces of news. So let's get into it. First up, I just wanted to wish everybody the best for 2021 and I hope you had a great festive season. Having said that, I can appreciate that this time of year can actually be quite a challenging time of year for many people out there. So if you're feeling a little down or even if you're feeling a lot down, just know that it's absolutely okay not to feel okay and the best thing that you can do if you don't feel okay is to have a conversation with somebody about it. I'm gonna put some numbers in the below video description area. If anybody out there needs to have a conversation. So we'll get to the smallest bit of big news first kinda sounds oxymoronic but bear with me here. And that is my magnificent BMC team machine. I'm parting ways with it. That's right, I'm selling it off. As much as I love the bike, I've now had it for over 12 months and it's time for a change. So some exciting new bike projects will be coming on the channel in 2021. So stay tuned for that. So now let's move to the big bit of news that I wanted to share with you all. And as I typically like to do, I wanna break this big bit of news into two parts and we'll save the best part for last. And I'm conscious that many viewers, many people that might be watching this video are relatively new to the channel. You might have subscribed in 2020. So let me just provide a little bit of context up front before we get into it. Because you see it was March, 2020 where I started a show on this channel. And that show was called the RCA Training Tip Show where the very first video was about how Caleb Ewan rides in training. If you're keen, you can check out that Caleb Ewan training video just here. But the idea of the Training Tip Show was to silo cycling training tips, which I like to present on the channel, into a more formal, consistent manner every Wednesday Aussie time, roughly around midday on the channel. Now at the time of launching the RCA Training Tip Show, the Road Cycling Academy, which is the RCA, was purely a landing page for an online course that I have for road cyclists looking to improve called the up level road cycling course. Now over the past 10 months or so, since March, 2020 to now, the Road Cycling Academy is no longer a landing page. It's a proper legal entity. It's got its own website. It's got its own social media pages. And as a result, I wanna try and separate myself from it as much as possible. I'm still gonna be heavily involved of course because it's my business, but I don't want it to be under my name. I want it to be completely separate. So the big bit of news that I wanted to share with you is the RCA Training Tip Show that you watch, where we deliver content and insight surrounding road cycling training tips, bike fitting, et cetera, will be moving to a new channel in 2021. And that being a Road Cycling Academy-specific channel, which I'll link to below. Thus, this will be the last RCA Training Tip Show on this channel. And starting early February, 2021, we'll have the RCA Training Tip Show, as you know it from 2020, resuming on the Road Cycling Academy channel. Now I'm conscious some of you may be thinking, well, what does it mean for this channel right here? Well, the Friday vlog series still remains and I'm hopeful over the course of 2021, I can let go a little bit from the RCA Training Tip Show. And as a result of being able to do that, I can create even more cycling content. So we'll have the Friday vlog series, which will continue on this channel and hopefully a little bit more content moving into 2021. And look, I'll still be doing my training tips videos on this channel, just presented a little bit differently as you will have seen them on the Friday vlog series in the past. And because of the size of this channel, I'll still do all the bike reviews here. Most likely the special guests and most of the cool projects, which are starting to come my way will be done on this channel. So for those of you who enjoy the RCA Training Tip Show on a Wednesday, I'd love for you to consider clicking on the link below, going over to that channel and subscribing and you can expect some brand new content. Early Feb, 2021. Now, the second part of this news that I wanted to share with you, it relates to the bike fitting series we've been running on the RCA Training Tip Show, which has been hugely popular. It was actually early May, 2020, where expert bike fitter Neil Stambry first appeared on the channel. And it just so happened that that meeting at Cam Cycling Collective in Brisbane sparked a new relationship for two primary reasons. Reason number one, Neil Stambry is an excellent bike fitter and presents information on camera about bike fitting exceptionally well. And number two, Neil had just moved from Melbourne, Australia to the Sunshine Coast slash Brisbane around about that time. And he was looking for ways to let people know, promote his business, his bike fitting business, that he was now no longer in Melbourne, he was in Brisbane. So we continued to work with each other, as many of you know, a contrast style relationship where Neil provided his wisdom and insights for us all and in return he got exposure for his bike fitting business. It's as simple as that, despite what some people have suggested in the comment section. And while Neil has appeared on the Friday vlog series on many occasions and he will continue to be part of this channel, the more formal sit down bike fitting videos, they belong on the RCA training tip show on the new channel now on the Road Cycling Academy channel. And despite the fact that that channel is going to be a lot smaller, which means Neil won't get as much exposure. Neil has confirmed, and this is the second bit of, or third bit of big news that I really wanted to share with you is that he's going to be involved in that channel so much so that he's going to be a business partner of the new Road Cycling Academy channel. And he's going to be contributing to roughly 50% of the content on the channel in 2021. And as a result of that, he's going to be more involved in the subjects that we pick, the strategy of the channel, and also, and perhaps most importantly for you, the viewer is reading as many comments as possible and responding to as many comments as possible, which is something I've tried to do in the past, but I don't have the expertise that Neil does. So if you like the sound of this, please make sure you give this video a big thumbs up and I just wanted to once again thank you all. Thanks a million for your support because without you clicking on the vids and watching the content, this would all not be possible. So thank you. I also want to thank my channel members for supporting the channel financially. And I also want to thank those organizations that now support the Road Cycling Academy and thus the new Road Cycling Academy channel, those of you who are the natural performance enhancing supplement I take on a day-to-day basis being ModX, the Sufferfest indoor training app who have just launched a whole bunch of new aerobic base-building workouts supplemented with cycling documentaries, the Today's Plan training software which enables myself and Road Cycling Academy members to select training programs and analyze their workloads, Jack Roof for providing awesome cycling kits to myself and the RCA members, and Quark for being a reliable source of truth for power and supporting the Road Cycling Academy. So on this channel, the next video I have is me competing at the Men's Masters Nationals titles, the Criterium and the Road Race which happened in December last year. I'm gonna be publishing a video on the channel hopefully either this Friday or next Friday, school holidays here at the moment and trying to do stuff on school holidays is very difficult but I'm gonna try for Friday and that's pretty much it. Catch you all in the next video.
