I've not been riding long, maybe about 18 months, and have had this once or twice. There's seemingly no explanation, but I just told my riding buddy that my head wasn't in the right place and needed to go at a more sedate pace. I guess that we ride in all sorts of conditions and states of mind and knowing how your mind and body reacts in all of them is all part of the continuous learning process. I've since learnt that eating the right stuff at the right times before a long ride and staying hydrated make an enormous difference to being comfortable and alert on the bike.
