It refers to the fatigue and pain that can be experienced in the legs, as well as the muscles and tendons in the legs, after a long ride.

.The History of the Cycling Term 'Cycling Leg'
The term 'Cycling Leg' was first used in the late 19th century in Europe. It was initially used to refer to the part of a bicycle race in which cyclists would ride from one point to another. The term was also used to refer to a specific segment of a race, such as a time trial or hill climb.
The term was popularized when it was used in the first-ever Tour de France in 1903. The Tour was a grueling race that involved cycling for over 3,500 km across the French countryside. The race organizers divided the event into six stages, each of which was referred to as a 'Cycling Leg'. This term was then adopted by other cycling events around the world.
Today, the term 'Cycling Leg' is still used to refer to a segment of a cycling race. It is also used to refer to a specific type of ride, such as a long-distance ride or a hill climb. The term is also used to describe a cyclist's overall performance in a race or event, with the best cyclist being referred to as the 'Cycling Leg Champion'.
