Great ride yesterday - the best organized and supported ride I have ever seen (roads blocked by CHP, constant flow of SAG cars and SRAM support vehicles everywhere and ride marshals - which I have never seen before). Climbs that reminded me of the Santa Monica mountains - with two descents that were insanely steep. I saw three carbon clinchers blow out - the ZIPP loaner wheels were in high demand. My 303s did not melt, but I was pretty sure they were going to. Next year I am either going with disc or non-carbon wheels. Highly recommended!
