First organized ride/road ride. Help!

I have a Chuck Harris mirror with a picture of a tunnel from the Elroy-Sparta trail in Wisconsin, my 1st metric century.

A good paceline leader will warn you a group is passing and how many are in the group. Other riders will say things like " 2 more coming, or I'm the last one".

I've never had this happen on the road, ever. Not one time, not from a paceline of any size. Perhaps I was invisible? Non-paceline riders have been better at alerting me to their presence. Of course this didn't mean my experience is average, and I do have a bar-end mirror so perhaps they assume I see them (which I usually do - have only been surprised a few times).
