Usually try and ride every day, as many have also said, it depends on how I feel about things as far as my body, on that day. I don't do two consecutive hard workouts, no real need for an aggressive program for my riding, no racing here due to health issues that preclude that type of riding. If I am just a bit sluggish I can back of the distance, as well as the tempo, and just spin that day. If I feel like I am not capable of a quality ride, I will bag it for a day. One reason I write in my ride data, in the Friel's "Cyclist Diary" I have kept for 3 years, in pencil is so I can change the planned workout easily for those days I decide to change up things, be it faster or slower.

Unless you are just starting out, or returning to cycling after a layoff from an injury or sickness, I think you should be fine if you decide that 2 days straight on working the legs harder specifically is what you feel best riding. Best wishes on your riding, be safe.
