One other thing that I neglected to mention. If you do not already know what goat head plants look like and where they grow, look at some pictures on line. The plants these thorns come from look pretty harmless, small and low lying, often a just little green in the cracks in the pavement. Also once on tour pay attention to where you find them. As you get more and more familiar with them you will get better at avoiding them both your sleeping pad and your tires. In goat head country check your tires for thorns every time you pull off of the pavement before getting underway again.
