Well that is good to hear. I see you are in Redwood City!
I am not really worry about the blowouts myself, I have rode road bike around your way a couple of times, rode down Highway 9 from 35 to Saratoga. It is about 2000ft elevation drop in 7 miles, and I was with my Cheap Chinese Carbon Clinchers and I did not have issues.
