Close to 30 cyclists came out to support the Camarillo Family YMCA's inaugural metric century and family fun ride on Sun., May 20.

More than $1,200 was raised by cyclists and through donations benefiting the 2007 Campaign for Youth.

Proceeds will benefit the YMCA's Open Doors Scholarship Program, which ensures that no one is turned away from the Camarillo YMCA. Camarillo Family YMCA is at 3111 Village at the Park Drive in Camarillo.
