Something to keep in mind Bigcurly: I don't know how much you ride or how far ganerally but if you've never ridden 70km straight before you will experience all kinds of soreness and it can be normal. after my first 50 miler I hurt all over my body including my shoulders. Now I can ride that distance without pain but if I tried 100miles I'd probably ache all over just like I did at 50 miles before. You get what I mean? It may just be you need to loosen up and get used to longer rides. Riding a bike is working out, working out makes people sore.
