We are excited to share a special initiative that celebrates the enduring legacy of Dean Mathias—our very own G.O.A.T. of RAGBRAI and a pillar of generosity in the cycling community. Dean’s selfless spirit has touched countless lives, from being the first on the road with panniers full of snacks and supplies, to the last one into town ensuring every rider—especially those with the Quad Cities Bicycle Charter—was supported and safe. His commitment to helping others has become a hallmark of our club’s values. To honor Dean’s contributions, we are launching a Sculpture Garden Project—a permanent tribute that will reflect his impact and inspire future generations of cyclists. Our goal is to unveil this garden in 2026, and we need your help to make it happen. We kindly invite you to contribute to this meaningful effort.
