What is the farthest distance that you have traveled without using a motor vehicle? Where did you go and how did you get there?

My commute to Smud is 38 miles round trip from Roseville to Work. Although this might not be "Motor free", I did save lots of gas in july. It was really hot, and lots of traffic, so I rode my "Go-Ped" all the way to work and back for a few weeks. I averaged 32mph, and averaged 100 miles per gallon. And I was cooled off when moving! it beats sitting in traffic with no A/C!! It did take 1 hour to get to work, and a hour to get home. It was fun! And I saved lots of Gas!

I rode my bike from San Francisco to Los Angeles for a fundraiser! I rode a total of 585 miles over 7 days! Not only was it an excellent cause (raising money for HIV and AIDS related services), but it was truly a start to a different (and more automobile-free) way of life! I now ride my bike or walk most places (since I live in East Sacramento, there really is no need to drive much), and I take public transit to work!

I have been trying out driving my Fully Electric Car to work, its about 17 miles taking the backroads from Roseville area.
I will have to do some modifications to the car to make it more practical, but working on it.....................
