Came across a few on my Sunday first ride of the year blast.

some move over and make room for you to safely overtake them. friendly wave as I pass.

Twice on the lanes, total ignorance of the fact I am behind. two/three abreast gassing away and no intention of allowing me to make progress on their roads. If I want to overtake I have to go onto the opposite side of the road on the blind bends. No thank you. We get round the bend at about 15 MPH and they then spread out 4 abreast taking up the whole lane. Leaving me with no option but to force an overtake. slipping clutch and revving make no difference. they are on the tour de Lancashire and in their own bubble of self importance.
So much for social distancing with that lot.
