knackered legs?

I went out on Saturday and had a really enjoyable ride. I only did about 25 miles, although that is the furthest I've gone this year.
Anyway by the time I got back my legs just felt dead. As I neared home just riding up a short hill left my legs feeling as though I'd been towing a car behind me. Even this morning 2 days later they still feel tired just walking up the escalators :?
I didn't feel physically tired, the rest of the body would have happily gone on but it was just my legs.
Although I haven't been doing long distances I have been out on the bike a few times and have been using the trainer indoors (but not for long, too boring) plus I've recently been playing 5-aside twice a week.
Any thoughts/advice?

Seriously though, you could have the start of a bug, or perhaps the football is catching up with you. Try a very easy spin session on the turbo so that you are turning your legs fast with hardly any resistance for 30-45 minutes. Then maybe strecth you quads, hamstrings, calves and glutes for a while afterwards.
