Wheels of Justice
Ride with us July 18-19, 2026
Welcome to Wheels
The Wheels of Justice cycling team rides to raise money for children fighting cancer and blood diseases. We ride in the Annual Courage Classic, a 2-day ride through the Rocky Mountains hosted by Children’s Hospital Colorado. Founded in 2005, our team is made up from 250 riders at every age and skill level.
This ride is different, this cause is different,
Because this hospital is different.
We aim to raise $750,000 annually for the Center for Cancer & Blood Disorders (CCBD) at Children’s Hospital Colorado. Our money goes to funds research, mental health, and wellness care for families and patients dealing with a diagnosis.
What is the Wheels magic? How do we do it, you may ask? The truth is, the kids are at the forefront of every decision and thought that we have. A long standing volunteer ran team, we are amateur cyclist and relentless fundraisers. Our community is driven by one unwavering commitment, to improve treatment and care for children fighting these treacherous diseases. With over 200 riders, virtual riders, and volunteers annually we don’t quit until we’ve raised every possible dollar. The Children’s Hospital Colorado Foundation only allows teams that raise over $50,000 to direct their funds to a specific department. With this in mind, and many rider perks, we at Wheels invite all teams that would like to support CCBD to partner with us! Over the past 20 years we have had over 25 partner teams join us and contribute to our lifetime fundraising achievements!
As of 2025, we have raised over $7.5 Million!! Come ride with us!

2025 Honoree
Martha Riedel
For our 20th year, we honored Martha Riedel, forever 20 years old.
Martha was treated at Children’s Hospital Colorado for 7 years after she was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma in 2015. Despite going in and out of remission multiple times, Martha had a good life. When Martha was told she had cancer at age 13, she essentially grew up overnight, and as result she had an agenda: getting shit done.
And did Martha get shit done.
Martha enjoyed being outside as much as possible and at an early age fell in love with snowboarding and cycling. She raced mountain bikes for the Boulder High mountain bike team all four years of high school, racing numerous times while in the middle of treatment (chemotherapy). Martha rode in five Courage Classics (again, while in treatment). Martha grew as an artist as well, she took ceramics classes at BHS all four years and became an exceptional potter. She honed her artistic skills in numerous other mediums like watercolor, stamp carving and hand sketches. It did not stop there, thanks to the pandemic, when she became a fantastic foodie who cooked her parents healthy meals after her siblings had gone away to college. Martha was always scheming on the next thing she was going to create, and you name it, if she could find a video on YouTube about some cool craft or project, Martha would make it.
