How many muscles in your legs?

Thursday saw me playing Volleyball all day, something I haven't done for a long time. Ever since then I've been walking like an OAP with continence problems. The cyclist's 'thighs of steel' came through relatively unscathed but it feels like someone has slipped a golf ball behind my calf muscles! :?

Of course, people have been saying the usual 'oh, it's different muscles you see'. What, like I have special 'cycling muscles' and then some separate 'volleyball muscles'. What about my 'football muscles'? To save weight when cycling can I go to hospital and have my 'ski-ing, golfing, and paragliding muscles' taken out because I don't use them?!

And what's added to the pain is that my new Foska jacket's arrived but I can't go for a ride because my legs still ache three days later. :(
There's always one more idiot than you bargained for.
