Today, it's even better. We have over 1,000 followers and over 2,500 tweets! As @acaroutes, I field questions regularly and engage in conversations about our routes, share links to items I believe to be of interest to traveling cyclists, and follow our route hashtag feeds.
Cyclists are using our route hashtags to report their food recommendations, lodging updates, campground experiences, and bike shop kudos as well as links to blog posts and pictures. I could spend much of my day exploring every one of those tweets. In reality, I respond to as many of them as practical, follow up on route updates, and retweet from our followers.
The busiest feeds right now are the TransAmerica Trail, Northern Tier, and Pacific Coast routes. They are another great way to tour vicariously, and gather inspiration for your own trip.
If all this talk of Twitter, hashtags, followers, and retweets has you a bit befuddled, be sure to check our initial post on the topic for clarification.
P.S. I'm taking a break next week. I'll be back with a new post the following week; see you then!
