I believe the law states that bike riders must ride single file whenever possible. In your scenario they are breaking the law. However, whether that gives you the right to break the law (cross the double yellow line to pass them) is doubtful. A deputy observing this should ticket the bike riders AND ticket you for crossing the double yellow line.
