These pages are put together and funded by me, Russell Standring, an English guy living in Grenoble. I created the Grenoble Cycling Pages in 1999 to allow me to bring my love of cycling and photography on to the internet, and I continue to try and make the site the best resource for cycling in the French Alps.
