This clue could be a double definition.

'stages of route' is the first definition.

'for members' is the second definition.
(leg is a kind of member)

(Other definitions for legs that I've seen before include "Lower limbs" , "associated with 11 in game" , "Members" , "Sections of a journey or course" , "Stages of a journey" .)
