I've done two-days without any long back-to-back rides, and I don't think I had any issues because of it.
So, you don't have to. It is interesting to do some riding the second day to understand that a) your legs are going to hurt for a while (perhaps up to 30 minutes) and b) your legs will loosen up at some point.
I think it's much more about the quality of training rather than the amount of training.
