Goat Heads on Ojai bike trail Shell Road North

    Hello everyone.  Be aware, goat heads are on the Ojai bike trail from Shell Road to Ojai.  Advise to ride on Ventura Ave.  I had over 5 goat heads on front and rear tires and both went flat.  Saw many cyclists with flat tires by the time they reached Foster Park.

    Thank you for posting this, Sonia. I had the misfortune of experiencing goathead flats, two consecutive rides! The first case, luckily the tire deflated by the time I got home. However the other one was experienced on Saturday when I was in Santa Barbara. Because it was the same front tire, I have a strong sense it was picked up on the Thursday ride to Ojai.

    How should we go about getting that segment swept? A club cleaning crew, perhaps?
