VIDEO: The Australian Man Who Beat the Tour de France in Sandals (3417 Miles in 17 Days)

“Imagine winning the Tour de France. Now imagine doing that without any of the perks — no mechanics, no hotels, no crew at all….in sandals.”

Meet Lachlan Morton, the Australian pro-cyclist who did something quite remarkable last summer to raise awareness for World Bicycle Relief, a nonprofit that finds bicycles for people in need. Lachlan dubbed his quest the ‘Alt Tour de France’ and achieved his goal by riding 200 miles a day, beating the entire pack by 5 days time, all this while wearing sandals. All in all he rode an incredible 3417 miles in just 17 days, raising more than $688K. Check out the story of his journey and if you’re inspired to contribute to his cause, please donate to HERE:
