Blackberries are ripe along River Loop 1

One of the great features of living in Santa Clara is blackberry season. Now is the time to hop on your bike and ride along River Loop 1 and look for the many blackberry patches. And here’s a hint from a successfully blackberry tracker – the juicy ones are near creek beds or ponds.

If you are not familiar with River Loop 1, two of our bicycle routes will take you along several patches of blackberries. Go to our Santa Clara Bike Routes page and look for the 5 mile East Santa Clara ride and the 10 mile ride. There are several other fun rides on the page, including six 2 mile rides.
