Why would you want a tow to where lenticulars clouds have formed? I thought
lenticulars are a sign of laminar flow, not turbulent flow. Or are the
lenticulars just the sign post to tell you that there is lots of wind and
there should be some lift near where there are lenticular clouds?


You are right. Lenticulars indicate absolutely laminar.

But the windflow is often in "waves" with a slight upflow on the upwind
side of a cloud (and downflow on the other).... usually started by some
kind of pimple on the earth's surface. You may be able to run on that
for a while. I don't know if anybody does, cause there may be
wind-shear issues.

There may also be "turbulent" flow in a layer below the laminar flow,
but it would be capped somewhere below the base of the lenticulars.
