I would get some more miles in your legs and adjust your bike a bit before tackling the next big ride.
I've ridden two bents, an EZ Sport and Catrike Road. I've never experienced muscle pain other than cramps in hot weather(that was a matter of hydration). Anyway, I've never had muscle pain riding either bent. However I've never ridden more than 67 miles in a day. My muscles were very tired after that ride, but no pain. I have ridden 150 miles in three days with no problems.
