I do audax rides (not on fixed, yet) and although I have fairly bulky thighs, I'm something of an anomaly among the other riders. Most of the other men and pretty much all of the women have nice slender toned thighs. That's except for some of the supervets who have legs like chicken wings.
I don't think it's much to do with distance as much as it is to do with body type and rather importantly diet. If you replenish energy without providing the building blocks of muscle then you won't bulk much. This actually makes beer a good thing.
