Nope. No question at all. Part of it was knowing where
not to ride...although that is difficult on single track...and a large part of it was the liners.
However, don't tempt the Gods of Goatheads! They are capricious. The next ride in the same area I stopped
counting at 63 punctures...I had a whole lot more. The next ride in the same area, I decided to face the Gods of Goatheads full on and got used tires (to throw away at the end of the ride), Slime tubes
and Tuffy's. I didn't even pick up a single goathead on the same trail.
Zero! That's the first time ever. Stupid Gods of Goatheads!
Oh! Wait! I didn't say that! I didn't mean it! Please, oh Great and Powerful Gods of Goatheads, spare this poor stupid mortal! I
love goatheads! I'll eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner! I'll trod upon them for miles without shoes! Just don't smite me!
Oh, woe is me!
