Back Pain

["peggy brush" <psbrush@hotmail.com>]

I just completed my 3rd 25 miler and am a bit worked about my back.  Usually 
when I start riding my lower back hurts but after about 20 minutes the pain 
stops and I am fine the rest of the ride (25 miles).  This week end I went 
to a ride and had a great ride Saturday (25 miles) so decided to try again 
on Sunday.  We took off and my usual 20 minutes of pain then everything was 
good.  Half way through the return lag my lower back became painful for the 
remained of the ride.  After the ride no pain just a litter stiff.  I would 
like to start riding 50's by summers end (my horse is more that ready) but 
am worried if I am up to the distance. I take over the counter pain killers 
during the ride and try to streach before and after the ride.  I am hoping I 
just need to develop my lower back muscles ....any advice?
