Brady,
First off, welcome to the neighborhood. I hope you and yours will like
living here.
I suppose my experience since moving here a couple years ago is similar to
that of Jay, Glen and Robert in that I rarely have trouble with goatheads
in the Wasatch bench/front/up-on-the-hill areas and mo

chainrings, this they don’t come with the wrong rings.

Nice ride report. Thanks for sharing it. I haven't made it that far south
on the trails* yet on my own blue, twin-top-tubed Hillborne. Looks like
