Default Lower Back Pain

Any advice greatfully accepted. I went out last week on my MTB, put in about 20 miles on relatively hilly terrain, but nothing I hadnt done before, and woke up the following day with a lot of lower back pain.

The only differences are a rear shock set to 6in of travel and working as it should, and tires pumped up to about 60psi so the bile handled a little differently. Oddly enough the pain eases off when I cycle but comes back with avengance a couple of hours after I stop.

Help

Thanks for the response. So it would be a cunning plan to work on the abs then?

I am not sure if your problem is bike fit, but you and others may also be an interesting website for reference if the problem persists.

I am currently going through recovery for a possible herniated or bulging disc myself and had to cut out mt. biking for the moment. I plan on continuing road riding since the pavement provides a smoother riding surface.
