Did you eat before your ride? Or were you only relying on the gels? And toast w/ jam sounds like just carbs...

I always eat a balanced meal (protein, carbs) before I ride (not right before I head out of the door, but within a reasonable amount of time). I drink water and Gatorade during my ride, and I usually use bars to refuel.
