Wherever I May Roam

Off the beaten path I reign

Rover, wanderer

Nomad, vagabond

Call me what you will

Bravery Beyond Belief: Lone Survivor


Talk about mayhem in the mountains, these Navy SEALS were not just planning adventures on mountain bikes, they epitomized what mayhem truly is.  This book is a must read for all M310 disciples.  The true story of these Navy SEALS in action (and death) takes place in the Hindu Kush mountains of Afghanistan.  Their mental courage and physical strength are simply astounding and a very good example as to why we all (M310ers) must maintain optimal fitness before heading out on that next rugged adventure.

Healy, of Exeter, N.H.; Quartermaster 2nd Class James Suh, of Deerfield Beach, Fla.; Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Marcus Luttrell; Machinist’s Mate 2nd Class Eric S. Patton, of Boulder City, Nev.; and Lt. Michael P. Murphy, of Patchogue, N.Y. With the exception of Luttrell, all were killed June 28, 2005, by enemy forces while supporting Operation Red Wing.
