First: Make sure your bike is properly adjusted. Poor fit can cause all sorts of aches and pains.

Second: Strengthen your core muscles. My back and shoulders would always hurt after rides, and it was getting to the point where loathed longer rides. Then I started doing sit-ups, back extensions, and push-ups (real simple, just in my room at home), and noticed a big difference when riding.

There is some important information missing in your question to even begin to be able to answer properly. If it isn't your bike fit and/or you aren't new too biking make sure to do stretches daily this can help eliminate backpain in all areas of your life if you are prone to it.
