You need to rest for a week so you can heal. Then start gradually building back up - I know, far more difficult than just writing about it - and for god sakes, stop jogging until you are completely healed and make sure you have proper running shoes.
I'm reading this OP and he does a bunch of distance riding before and after experiencing the shin splints without real pain, but he gets in intense pain after a 2k jog. This guy should probably just give up jogging.
I think if he rode 65k after the injury without it being "particularly painful", I doubt it's a case where the riding is injuring him. After all, he felt good enough after his Monday training to do the 2k run.
I don't know if his rest should include not riding, but if he already did a 65k ride with the injury without ill effect, it sure sounds like he answered his own question.
