Since most of us serious riders have steel clips on the bottom of our shoes, don't be surprised to see some marks on the right side of your car.

I'll look for you next time I'm participating in a 1,000 rider 100 mile ride. Actually, I'll just listen for you honking every 50 feet.
So...you've been to Durango CO?
I have no problem with organized competitions. The "Ironhorse Race" here, from Durango to Silverton is such an event. Well organized and well advertised. The "natives" understand that US 160 N will be impossible to drive on until the race is over. Fine.
I'm talking about everyday travel here in town and the outskirts (outskirts, where I live, but not far enough out).
If you're a competition rider, you might look into the "Ironhorse".
