Hope it works out.
hey, I saw that you are going with MTB tire shorts and padded liners. If your regular padded bike shorts are more comfortable and especially cooler on really hot days, consider getting some cheap thin pull over shorts to put on when going into stores or restaurants.
I do this, because I find the MTB shorts over liners or thinner padded bike shorts to be a lot hotter than regular bike shorts only. My regular padded bike shorts are also very comfortable for me touring and biking day after day, so I prioritize that, but throwing on the thin over shorts is easy and fast.
I usually keep these over shorts under the bungee holding my tent on rack so I can grab them easily, also handy when sitting on rocks or whatever to not damage Lycra.
