With the Opening Ceremony for the London 2012 Olympic Games taking place later this evening, there seems to be great pride from the people of the Isle of Man that two cyclists from here are going for gold.
Mark Cavendish is favourite for tomorrow's Road Race and Peter Kennaugh will be part of the Great Britain Team Pursuit squad at the Velodrome next week.
Some shop windows have Olympic displays to set the tone.
