Give this a try for your legs;

Use a leg press or squats (you can do dumbbell squats if you do not have access to a gym) and leg curls. Every other week pick a day, blast your legs with 5 or 6 sets of high rep (30 to 40) squats or leg press with no more then a 1 min rest between. Then do leg curls (a little higher weight and lower the reps a bit) then go out on your bike and ride for a couple of hours (or as long as you can). Then after the ride do 3 sets/2min each of wall sits with legs at 90 degrees Between these workouts you should still do/attempt your regular rides/workouts.

Your legs will not feel very good for the first few times, unless you enjoy the pain , but the endurance will increase.
