Well, I wondered something similar, like how to get to the Lecht ski
centre every weekend over the winter for the kids ski racing club.

However, on the other side of the coin, I'm committed to cycling the
'Snow Road's next summer, which takes in this spectacular route.
Without the snow! ( Event does 300Km, 4200M of ascent. Starts and
finishes at Kirriemuir, takes in the Cairn O'Mount, the Lecht, and
Glenshee. )

Did that as a Permanent when it was required for AAA. Fog on The Lecht
during the day and couldn't see a thing. For 55 miles on the Cairngorm
stretch, v. dark for a while and no moving traffic - magical.

GP = Grand Procession?

You can design your own circuit and pit yourself against the best
drivers of history.

Yep, that's where most of the overtaking seems to be done.

This afternoon at 1.15pm I rushed to my shed and got a piece of board 38" x
26" and hung it on the front of the TV............then painted it and
watched it dry.

The new Silverstone
circuit.............bbbbooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrri iiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnngggggggg.

I went for a ride and had 2 punctures - far more 'interesting' than
watching bozos in boxen polluting the planet.
Saw 4 hares and a fox and some flowers not seen on verges and, being off
road some of the time (looking for flat tyres it would seem), v. little
traffic.

Lucky you. I've never managed to see a hare in real life. I had
thought it was past the time of year for them to be visible now.

This evening: TdF then water the garden as there's nowr else on.

Top Gear?

Perhaps James May can sort out some kind of special remote system
controlled by the home user using one of these...

Yes surprising, especially as I hadn't seen any for several months.

Rarely and then downhill.
