I've raced on and off for ~40 years, and when I was still working, I quite frequently used to roll up for the 6am training rides with the local racing cyclists on the Bleriot that I commuted on, complete with mudguards and Carradice camper longflap saddlebag containing my work clothes, lunch, etc - the bike did have drop handlebars, though. I was amused one morning when I rotated off after taking a pull on the front to hear one of the younger riders asking "Who's the old bloke with the bag on the back?".
