Hans-Peter is a proud Austrian who lives in the beautiful mountains of Salzburg. HPO to his friends and the FulGaz community, he’s contributed a number of amazing rides in the app from the region.
A former professional cyclist, he has a number of titles to his name including multiple national hill climb championships and a string of podiums in the national road race championship in Austria.
When he’s not out racing his way up hills, you’ll find HPO looking after his two donkeys, Rosi and Pauline on his small property in the Alpes.
Favourite ride?
My favourite climbs in the real-world are the Pico de las Nieves (Gran Canaria), the Stelvio from Prato (Italy) and the Tauernmoossee (which I live near).
Favourite ride on FulGaz?
There are so many… Because there are so many amazing rides all over the world. I like the ones with perfect weather, less traffic, and high alpine scenery.
How did you get started filming rides with FulGaz?
I wanted to share the wonderful rides here in Austria with the other users of FulGaz. When I started filming for FulGaz there was almost nothing from Austria.
Favourite cycling memory?
I do not have one specific favourite cycling memory. The “Ruta de las Presas” Ride in Gran Canaria is one of my favourites – it’s an approximately 160k ride with 3500m of climbing. It has stunning views and scenery.
