It’s the week of the Mid South, and to mark the highly anticipated annual occasion, the organizers are District Bicycles in Stillwater, Oklahoma, worked together with local artist Amanda Weathers and a handful of brands to create a beautiful custom Salsa Stormchaser that they’re raffling off for a worthy cause. Tickets are on sale for $10 now, and all proceeds will benefit the Saville Center for Child Advocacy in Stillwater and their work to facilitate the protection, prevention, and healing of victims of child abuse. The District crew will ship the bike anywhere in the world, and there’s no limit on how many tickets you can buy or need to be present to win.

The raffle bike is a 2025 Salsa Stormchaser (56cm) with a carbon fork and swappable alternator dropout plates that allow for multiple drivetrain options. Its high-end build sports a full ZIPP cockpit, carbon seat post, WTB saddle, ZIPP 303 XPLR SW wheels with 700 x 45mm Goodyear XPLR Inter tires, SRAM RED AXS, and 1 x 13 electronic wireless drivetrain with SRAM RED full carbon crank with power meter. 

The frame features stunning custom “Prairie Fire” paint from Amanda Weathers, a muralist, farmer, advocate for native plant habitats, and endurance cyclist herself. She’s been part of the local art community for over a decade and has installed original murals across Oklahoma. Describing the work, she wrote, “In this piece, the red earth is illustrated next to blue skies transitioning from day to night with three of our native butterflies dancing on the horizon. Within this landscape, paintbrush flower (also known as Prairie Fire), encircled by fire and smoke, falls toward the prairie grasses below.”
