With the back pain you describe, I wonder if you're not trying to sit too far back. Have you tried having your saddle higher and bit more forward. The only time in my life I ever had back pain after riding was a few days about 10 years ago when I got carried away after reading some advice about pushing the saddle all the way back on its rails.
