Come on, why don't you just don't it and say "I don't like cyclists on my streets, I want to be able to sit on my fat arse behind other cars only"?
Sportives are not races, although you will find the odd numpty who might try to 'win' but these are viewed with the same contempt as those who leave numbers on their bikes after everts to prove they're serious or something...
I don’t like people who think littering is acceptable
I don’t like people who have no respect for the countryside
I don’t like people who will tell you they have a right while showing no responsibility.

Totally unlike a race then.

Presumably it's the Malvern hills yes? Specific term and condition against people littering.

My experience of country roads is that it is the drivers more guilty of your aforementioned behaviour.
