Tapering or is that Tampering

Well the plan is there for a taper but I'm thinking I'm more tampering with fitness than actually building it.  

The bikes are ready, the mind is ready, but the legs not sure. 

 The back well that is the question.  After doing six repeats of dismounts/mounts, then a good quality stair run on Monday the back seems to not want to lighten up.  Yoga did some good for tonight but tomorrow will be a new day.

All I know is the yesterday's beer of the week was absolutely awesome.
