               30TH ANNUAL ENCHANTED CIRCLE CENTURY TOUR

 Mr. DOMENICI. Mr. President, today I recognize the Red River 
Chamber of Commerce and the Red River Bike Club for putting on another 
Enchanted Circle Century Tour. This year marks the 30th anniversary of 
this legendary bicycle tour around northeast New Mexico.
  This 100 mile tour begins in Red River, and then passes through 
Questa, Taos, Angel Fire, Eagle Nest and Black Lake before finishing 
back in Red River. What better way to see the breathtaking Sangre de 
Cristo Mountains than on a bicycle? This tour has given many residents 
and visitors of New Mexico the opportunity to experience our State in a 
new way. It is not for the faint of heart though. It takes incredible 
strength to overcome the elevation, elements, and endurance challenge 
this tour presents. The September 8 start will be a major milestone for 
this community, and it is my hope that this tradition continues for at 
least another 30 years.
