I think a few members of the group get a little over excited about yelling things out, but again, its the only group ive rode in, so I wasnt sure what was normal. Thanks.
Another thing you can do is clack your brake levers. I do it with the smaller lever of the Campy levers, used to do it with the rear brake lever (since it's not really used to stop it's kind of unused when stopping). Clack fast at first to get attention, the slow it down as your speed drops.

I do call out stuff on the road - grates and such - because I prefer to keep both hands on the bars. I point if it's just one or two riders with me, or if I feel like it.
