I "push my legs" six days a week with varying intensity based on current goals.

It is quite reasonable to ride 5 or 6 days a week if you're reasonable in your approach to it. A good rule of thumb for me that every hard day is followed by an easy day.... unless I'm training for a specific event.

I suspect the only time your legs will need a "couple of days of rest" is if you really burn them out by over training.

I agree with Stevie47's notion that your goals need to drive your training routine.
