Thanks to technology, CEOs of North Carolina credit unions convening this weekend in Pinehurst for the annual conference of the North Carolina Credit Union League will get to see a  handlebar-filmed rendition of last week's "Odyssey Little Guy Bike Ride" across the state benefitting a hospital charity.

League officials said a "helmet cam" mounted atop the bike of Eric Gelly, league executive vice president, will recount the 366-mile cycling journey taken by four riders: Gelly, John Radebaugh, president/CEO of the league; David Brehmer, president/CEO of First Carolina Corporate, and Jeff Jones, president/CEO of the $53 million Freedom Federal Credit Union in Rocky Mount, N.C.

The effort, part of a trip up the Eastern Seaboard sponsored by the Vermont Cabot Creamery co-operative, raised more than $20,000 in donations for a children's hospital project in conjunction with the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C, in September.
