It's to insane for me, I'm going to do the Grand Tour Triple Highland Century that day instead.

I'd say it is the perfect ride for someone who can do Latigo in under 42min and M.C. in 7:14.

Because after the first 100 you just go numb and the rest of the day is just a blur.

I haven't done it, but I've heard it can be killer hot. Some BF members have ended the ride in the ER from dehydration.
Some of the steepest climbing is toward the top. Probably not a problem for a good climber like you.
There is a police escort on the way out of town on the narrow roads but when you come back you are on your own through there.
I know a guy who loves it so much, he started a web page about it.
Some people say "once is enough."

I think you're both insane, 300 mi vs. 155? Are you guys crazy? But I will contribute to your psychiatric problems by doing my usual volunteer work at the Grand Tour registration. Good luck insane guys.
