If you've suddenly upped your mileage, that can contribute to lower back pain. And have you dressed warmly enough during the recent milder weather?
I think if you've had back problems before (I have as well), you're doomed to intermittent relapses. I find that taking an anti-inflammatory post-ride stops me from making things worse. Just being generally tense and stressed is sometimes enough to trigger old injuries, and it justs gets worse as soon as I feel a twinge. Ibuprofen has been a great ally.
