Thank you for all the suggestions!

I'm looking at all your suggestions and of course everything here at TE (the first place I look). I tried on a pair of Sheebest MTB shorts (lined with nice padding) but they were too small for me.... do the clothes in that line typically fit smaller? So it's off to REI tomorrow hoping I'll find something I can ride on an organized ride on Sunday. WHY did I wait until the last minute? If I can't find anything tomorrow, I'll hem up my loose capris to the knee and wear my liners on Sunday, then resume serious shopping next week.
