Yes.

That would definitely happen to me if I did a 70 miler after a long hiatus.

Stopping every 20 miles to stretch is a good idea. Working on your core is a good idea. Re-evaluating your fit may also be a good idea. If you did well through mile 55 you may wish to keep your rides 50ish miles for a while.

Good luck!
