I’m refreshing my model in my `show` route, and want to briefly show the loading substate whilst this async behaviour is happening as the screen can take a while to update with the fresh data.

Here’s my setupController function:

```
 #app/routes/events/show.js
 setupController: function(controller,model){
    var self = this;
    this.intermediateTransitionTo('events.loading');
    model.reload().then(function(m){
      controller.set('model',m);
      self.transitionTo('events.show',m);
    });
  }

```

The loading route is entered, but then gets stuck in that loading route forever. How do I transition out of the loading route and back into the `events.show` route.
