VERSUS
When someone is out car shopping, what is it that makes them decide that they need a Yukon XL versus the regular Yukon??
“I was really hoping I could find an SUV that seats 15…”
I am so happy to see that these vehicles are slowly coming out of style. I know I live in TX, the world of big trucks and big SUVs, but I think gas prices are finally forcing these things off of the road.

PS Nothing personal to all you yukon drivers… It could have been suburbans or tahoes or denalis or escalades or hummers or anything else…
This weekend, I participated in the Urban Assault Race, which is an event hosted by New Belgium Brewing Company. It was a pretty incredible event. Over 1300 cyclists of all shapes, sizes, speeds, and ages descended upon Austin on Sunday morning. We had to stop at 12 checkpoints, four of which were mystery checkpoints with no specific order or route. There were bikers riding all over town and it was great. The whole event was a way to encourage people to commute by bike and to have a good time. At each checkpoint, there was a fun activity or obstacle that the teams of two had to do. It was a blast and I highly recommend it. It really helps you realize how things that you always thought were far away really aren’t… Plus, there was beer and fajitas at the end… Anyway, below is a video by the folks at New Belgium Brewing.
