Transformation #1. A visit to Springbrook today indicated the transformation wrought by the rain all last week (they got 7 inches on Tuesday morning alone!). Absolutely magnificent.

Transformation #2. There were about four kids up there who seemed rather impressed to see a cyclist. They seemed genuinely excited asking questions like "did you ride up the mountain?" and "do you get tired riding a long way." I'm just wondering at what age the transformation into the driver who hates the sight of cyclists begins.
