Can I ride 80km on a bike with no pump and other tooks?

The ride will be 80km only on asphalt. No hills or anything.

You know Murphy's law? "What ever can go wrong, will go wrong"?

You can ride for a year doing 40 km per day and not need any tools or pump. Then you leave them at home, since you never need them anyways, and get a flat at most inconvenient and out-of-the-way place of your next trip.

You can risk it if you want to, although you'll need to be prepared to walk home or phone for help if you get a puncture or something else goes wrong.

A pump and a basic repair kit (and ideally a first aid kit) won't take up much room.

Not a good idea. You can get a flat tire even after just half a mile no matter the type of road. They make pumps that you can attach to your bike. You can also get a small bag for under the seat to hold a patch kit and other small tools.

Other tooks? Who took what? Oh...other tools!

Several years ago I was roughly 15 miles from home with everything needed to patch a tube & replace a tube - both. Everything except a source of air. And the closest gas station was 2 to 3 miles away.

I haven't been on a bicycle since without EVERYTHING needed to fix a flat and / or replace a tube - including a good frame pump. Don't care if I'm riding 1 mile or 100 miles.

Why not carry everything to need to at least patch a flat, tire levers and have a spare tube. The frame bike pumps are cheap and can save you a lot of walking.

A flat wont help you if it is all down hill.

Sure you can... maybe. You have no idea what may happen over almost 50 miles of roadway. A small frame pump and tire repair kit don't cost much, and may be the difference between completing the ride and walking back. I have a tire repair kit in a very small under-seat bag, and a frame pump. I've not had to use the tire kit, but I have had to use the pump on the side of the road.

You'll also need a LOT of water with you. I have 2 frame mounted cages with water bottles, plus a 2 liter Camelback!

If you have a flat, you won't be riding those 80 km, your ride will be over at whatever mileage the flat occurs. How big a chance you are taking is impossible to tell. I haven't had a flat on the road for quite some time, but I still carry tools, tubes and a pump. Every passing kilometre brings me closer to my next flat

That's not a good idea.

My dad once flatted 3 times over a 50 mile ride. Yeah, you need to bring stuff with. Also important, food and water.
參考: I've been on so many rides I can't even count. You name the weather, I've probably muscled through it somehow. Never been through a tornado though.

if you are lucky or don;t mind walking

You can; I've seen riders who do it all the time, but as others have noted you're taking a heckuva chance.  If you're going to have a support vehicle closely following you then they can carry all this stuff and you wouldn't need to.  But taking an 80k ride and being followed by a car all the way kind of defeats the purpose of the bike ride, right?

If you are lucky yes if not no.
It is a long walk with a flat tire.
Carry a pump a repair kit and the tools to fix a flat.
