Goat Head Thorns?

So I've got a new bike coming, my first road bike since high school. I live in an area that is absolutely covered in goat-head thorns. They are thick everywhere, in cracks in the sidewalks, streets, and roads even. I commuted around the area on a mountain bike for years and fought the thorns. I ended up using Slime filled tubes, it's not uncommon to get hundred of thorns in each tire.

I plan to start doing overnight bike camping trips and exploring the surrounding countryside.

What should I do for my road bike. It has Vittoria Zaffiro 700x25 tires.

Thanks!
