F both of you.
Just because car drivers are going over the speed limit for their enjoyment, it doesn't make them right and the cyclists wrong for being there.
The cyclists have a right to travel that road just as much as you do as long as it isn't an interstate or similar road that restricts use by vehicles unable to maintain a certain speed.
Maybe it's a scenic route and the cyclists want to enjoy it the same as you.
Maybe it's the only road between point A and point B on their route.
As a runner (who is also a former cyclist who was once a top-level racer, I might add) I sometimes find myself having to use less than ideal roads, such as those without a shoulder, because it's the only way for me to get from one place to another.
So you have a car. Big F-ing deal.
It may not be the best choice in your opinion or from where you're sitting, but you need to get over yourself and share the F-ing road.
