Haha thanks guys, like bcrdukes, says any distance counts! Getting out there is what matters. That'll probably be my longest ride this year, unfortunately.

which reminds me it's pretty difficult to find a place to park the bike with the chariot, i was wondering if anyone has used the filzer kickstands...idc if its light or what not my main concern is durability.
also gonna get rid of the rear planet bike hybrid fender because it bends too easily, i might just look at adding a pannier style or seatpost rack for usability.
and geezus cannondale's stock seat sucks ass (no pun intended) for comfort, i see everyone upgrading seats what's a good quality brand i should be looking at (my ass big LOL)
thanks in advance.

Are you riding with normal shorts or padded? Like bcrdukes said, it can be a very subjective thing. Less subjective if you're just commuting in normal pants for shorter distances.
If normal shorts, depending on your budget.
Higher end: Brooks saddles are great (but I have no experience personally)
Lower end: Serfas and/or planet bike saddles with the cut out like...
Planet Bike A.R.S. Standard Saddle (Men's) - Mountain Equipment Co-op. Free Shipping Available OR
Amazon.com : Serfas Performance RX Bicycle Saddle : Bike Saddles And Seats : Sports & Outdoors (I had the serfas performance saddle which was very comfy)
If padded shorts, its a whole different ball game. I've had good experiences with Specialized saddles, I think my ass likes them. I have a romin and phenom. Both comfy for me. If I was to upgrade I'd probably stick with specialized because I know they fit me well. And I need the cut out, all saddles w/o it are very uncomfortable. YMMV
