Some people believe in 'recovery rides', modest levels of effort, keep the cadence up (not high, just don't mash up hills, pootle up in your lowest gear if you have to), apparently the increased blood flow is supposed to accelerate the repair of muscle micro-damage and flushing of metabolites which is what's causing your legs to feel dead, meaning you can get back to proper training sooner.
