Saw a group out yetserday at Grange/Borrowdale, rear guards stuffed into the camelback. Why? wouldn't it be easier to just put the things on the bikes?

Yours, genuinley interested

Sure they weren't shin/keen pads?

Nope, definitely mudguards, the triangular arm that goes onto the seatpost was sticking out.

The first one I saw made me think the lady had broke it, the others seemed to have a similar set-up.

It's possible our 2 year old had been on a secret fixing session when I had my back turned and therefore they actually were broken.

One of our riders was doing that yesterday and I thought the same thing - but I forgot to ask him why ๐Ÿ™‚

probably bike-tarts who, correctly, think they look rubbish and only use them where necessary
I don't even use them where necessary ๐Ÿ˜›

It's the one with the outdoor tables with the little canopy over them. On the corner of the lane upto Castle Crag if I remember rightly. They sell nice cake.
