Guys,
Realized this scratch after today's evening ride. I am not aware of hitting anything. Maybe a road stone? Do I need to worry about it? I would put some clear coat on it and that's it...
Thanks of your help in advance!

It doesn't look like anything, but I would check to see if the material is soft to the touch. If it is firm, keep riding.

It looks like nothing. How deep is it? I'd probably just put a little clear coat on it.
I don't think you are going to get much traction with Zipp to replace the rim seeing as it is a minor chip of the cosmetic layer above the thickest part of the cross section of the 303 rim. I am thinking clear fingernail polish, which is thicker than paint, and will fill in the void.

...part of doing business when you ride your bike. Looks like nothing but a cosmetic scratch (probably from stone or other)....no visible cracks. The first scratch always hurts the most, but don't let it ruin your riding....all scratches from here forth will be painless. Ride them in good health...
