Ive been doing the ride for 3 years. during that time they have been raising money for spinal damage research.

I've done this one as well, its a good ride. Shame it clashes with the South Head trail ride!

spinal damage research.

Is this still the cause that is supported by the ride this year?

I know it is a good ride but can't bring myself to support an industry that uses and encourges aborted children.

????????????????????????????????

Ha ha - my fault.... last year I mistakenly posted that they were grinding up unborn babies to use in experiments, I must have misheard the man from Paeroa Rotary Club......

[kezzafish]

don't they use stuff from umbilical cords for spine damage? some shit like that. Civil, are you a christian? this could be a very interesting ethical discussion. Do you believe that i shouldn't use a starter motor from a corolla at the wreckers yard because it's sacrilege?

Something like that.

Civil, are you a christian?

define christian?

Do you believe that i shouldn't use a starter motor from a corolla at the wreckers yard because it's sacrilege?

depends on what you did to the corolla to get the starter motor. Did you have to steal it to get it?

[kezzafish]

Maybe we shouldn't get into this? i should have said: are you religious? no i wasn't thinking of stealing the starter motor. I believe that doctors have to have permission to use organs from dead people/aborted babies

mmmm..... if its wet its southhead if its dry its Paeroa. unless your like mud then its paeroa whatever. Last year at paeroa I remember everyone getting stuck on a huge hill after it poured down with rain. good fun and losts of river crossings and also some reasonably tight stuff in a 500m blast in the woods.

So it's Ok to buy the corrola starter motor from the chop shop that steals to order, but not if you steal the starter motor from the corrola yourself?

No I'm not religious.

I would just like to know what charity this ride supports, so that I can decide if I want to contribute towards it. Is there anything wrong with wanting to be informed?
