I love watching this too, and hearing the hum of the tires on the road

On the tours I was on this summer our little group left earlier, then would keep an eye out for "the peloton" - they sat and drank coffee longer but would catch up and go whizzing past us everyday - we would catch up at the rest stops and watch it all again

A couple of weeks ago on the club ride about 14 of us formed a double pace line. I was able to keep up for 15 miles (they weren't going their normal zoom pace but only about 17 mph) It was AWESOME - I just wish there had been someone to pass and impress
