Re: goat heads

Mark, the insidious goat  head is the ninja star of the plant world. They 
will stick to tires shoes and feet. The result of unknowingly stepping on 
them in bare feet is quite painful. but because they always found in 
clusters the result is never limited to one puncture. I have not known them 
to puncture the soles of a shoe.
For tires, I always used some form of kevlar belted tire often with the 
edition of  a Mr. Tuffy liner. Many riders in the desert SW also ride the 
heavier "thorn-proof" tubes. We would also buy our patches 50-100 at a time. 
rol through a patch without protection you will not end up with one puncture 
but many. I remember on one ride a friend of mine ended up with more than 20 
holes, in each tire.

 Do goatheads stick to tires, shoes and feet?

Not sure what they are from the pictures.
With the plan to ride in Colorado and being
lucky in Wisconsin I thought I'd ask. .............................Will the 
goat heads aka puncture vine bother
these tires?

Thank you for your thoughts,
