Jamie (Street Pigeon Mtb) and Ross (Mtb Scotland) got in touch to see if I wanted to ride Ben Ime. Ben Ime is just under an hour away from me, so it was an easy yes.

This mountain is the highest of the Aroochar Alps at 1011 meters. It's a fantastic run, but it can get very busy, so make sure you hit it at a quieter time.
