Motorcycling is really sh*t...

I was gonna say, 27 miles off road is very impressive and you must be super fit.

27 miles on trail/road is still pretty impressive with the rolling resistance of the knobbies. You're not as unfit as you think.

My problem is I don't have the legs for inclines anymore. I did 30 miles off road a while back and I was at halfway due to the hills.

Sticking to doing that distance of flat bridleway now.

I've tried to get into running a couple of times before and find it really hard at first, then when it starts getting easier I end up with shinsplints or plantar faciaitis. I ought to try again as Ibby is a keen runner, she's done a couple of London Marathons and a load of half marathons.

It really depends on what you did with your free time before motorcycling.

I assume you just sat around drinking and eating.

maybe the weight you're shedding is muscle.

Dunno, might make a difference if it feels really tight and is rubbing against your helmet?
