Unless I'm mistaken, we only have your word for how these "countless other" cyclists feel about this road.

Again, I have to ask, if this is such a "bad" road, than why is it that a speed of 30 - 40 MPH is considered to be going "slow?"

On this particular road, it can be quite dangerous to move into the oncoming lane, and safe opportunities are sometimes quite far between. OTOH, there are very few sections where single-file cyclists cannot be passed safely and politely.
Than they need to slow down until it is safe to pass, how hard is that to comprehend?

It sounds more like the world that you live in is the one that is in the "alternate reality." One where motorists are "forgiven" for assuming that the road ahead of them is always going to remain clear.
