I quit riding with a group like yours!
I'm in the rear of like 7. A car approaches I yell car back. Nadda, no reaction from leader. several calls of "car back" was ignored. I speed up to the front. And yell in the guys ear. "CAR BACK", to which I get a shrug for a reaction.
Some riders are just jerks. Sometimes they are jerks with bicycle locks. The part that scares me the most. These people (jerks) also drive cars.
Never in my life was my ride so much more important than anyone else that I felt the need to impede traffic.
In my opinion if you've a group of 50, you need to be in pre-planned coordination with law enforcement and some form of traffic control.
