Thongs in the bidon cage, can’t get more Aussie than that!
I remember getting a flat, and having no shoes. Wasn’t going to walk back in cleats so decided to go barefoot. Bad blisters after less than a km. I can’t imagine what walking 4kms in thongs would do. Hope they’re not too bad today.
Yeah I thought it was pretty clever when I came up with it. Normally I’d put closed shoes in a backpack, but I wanted to avoid the sweaty back from having a backpack. This was the first time I didn’t do that. Had I had a backpack, I probably would’ve put my phone in it too and not broken it. Same if I’d worn a cycling jersey and used the back pocket.
The 4 km in thongs was certainly not fun. Slightly injured my foot as a result. But I can’t imagine having to do it barefoot!
In retrospect I should’ve gotten back on the bike, once the rain stopped (which it did fairly early on into my walk). Would’ve been a lot quicker and saved a lot of strife. Ah well.

Hope the barefoot walk was on a colder day? Can’t imagine doing that in Summer.
