As for goatheads, I returned from an adventure trip to western Ne last week and on my return trip decided to camp at Tilden and bike to Oakland and back and Norfolk and back . Trail was in great shape. Barely a hint of any vegetation on the trail. I managed to pick up one, but that may have been riding through the campground. My brother and I will do the entire trail both ways the first week of Sept and if there are any bad areas I'll post, but trail maintenance has been great the last few years.
