Yes, on the climbing portion of the loop. From where the bench used to be (it's gone now) around the first two turns before the straight section. And, just to be clear, I didn't say e-bike, I said e-dirt bikes. These have no pedals and run at higher rpm's which is chewing up the trails. They are also running them in the bike park using some of drop features as ramps. I've seen a group of them running in the park but they clear out as soon as someone approaches them.

Thank you for the clarification(s). Sorry for missing the "dirt" portion of your e-bike comment...
Just wondering, have you ever told Cqt. By-Law about the dirt bikes? I guess it would be sheer luck if they managed to catch them in the act. Same issue at Burke.
When did the bench disappear? Do you know why? Seems so odd to remove it. (Some of us appreciated that moment of rest haha.)

@BikingMama777: I haven't emailed the city yet. As for the bench, it was taken out last week some time. It was broken and the metal bent. I assumed a tree hit over the winter. Hopefully, they will fix and return it.
E-bikes don't really cause damage; surrons and motos do. How wide are the tire tracks?
