But seriously, stretch, do some other exercises as well. Strengthen your core muscles too, that will help a TON.
You're not old yet Dave.
As stated above, stretch before you ride, and if you ride a few miles to the spot, stretch before you start doing any harder riding. Also, it helps to know the type of back pain you're having. Muscle pain sucks but can usually be avoided or fixed. Actual bad disc type back pain is a whole different deal, and you should def talk to a Dr.
