The chance to get together and show what they can achieve. But every two years, its sport that brings them closer. They come from europe, the South Atlantic and the caribbean. 2a islands, 1a sports, across six days of action. This is the island games. 900 miles away off the north coast of scotland, shooter Ross Donaldson and his teammates are starting the long trip south. When you can get an island games squad, theres anticipation, theres excitement. So weve got 20 bikes, a lot of football kit, sailing kit, athletics kit. In st peters port, Team Managers are checking in athletes and equipment. 103 of us all arrived here safely. Im delighted. Going to head over to the two hotels, and then well unpack all the bikes and the kit. Carlos and his bikes have travelled all the way from shetland. Ive got two bikes. This is the One For The Road race. Ive got a different one for the time trial. But you try and get as much advantage as you can within the rules. Most of the teams have got two bikes
