Bikes at Grey Reef?



This is a quick post to ask if Grey Reef anglers are also mountain bike enthusiasts? Mountain biking is a universally accepted activity...all ages and genders. So.....
1. Would good mountain biking options make it more attractive to come to Grey Reef over other fishing destinations?
2. Would you expand the amount of travelers in your group if you had the option of a great series of cross country bike/hike trails at Alcova (Fremont Canyon Rim) as well as our consistent fishing on the North Platte River?
3. Would you bring your bike for sessions on a pump track if there was one at The Reef Fly Shop?

I am aware that the pump track thing isn't the most accepted form of riding...it would be mainly to satisfy me. But, the State of Wyoming has built trails at Curt Gowdy and now Glendo. It seems to me that it is relatively inexpensive infrastructure for gaining that eco-tourism demographic where it was non existent. Give your thought please.

Fly rodders don't ride bicycles? One or two comments would be useful for possibly adding to a proposal for a 20 year operating plan for Grey Reef, Alcova and Pathfinder. If it isn't in the plan it will be difficult to institute later. This won't negatively effect fishing at Grey Reef. But could be very positive for Casper and the surrounding area. Erik

I think it would be great for the area. Adding a bike lane to Casper allowing anglers to bike & fish along the way? It would be nice if bikes could be rented through the shop. I dig the idea.
