I would say most people that do "big" rides, take a "recovery ride" (small) the day after. But 15 miles isn't a big ride...unless its very hilly or you didn't work up to those miles (in beginning I was only riding 4-8 miles probably). Even so, I would occasionally have a day like you describe where my legs were just not there for some reason.
Sorry...I thought I had something more constructive to say, but reading back what I just wrote it really doesn't look very helpful.
