    I don't think for a minute that lack of a carb rich breakfast would cause you to 'bonk' in that a short period of time. Your glycogen and fat stores should easily last you 30 miles, especially if they were topped off the night before. I have impaired glucose tolerance and bike long distances on a very low carb diet. So, I would look to another reason, perhaps a virus or other illness for the lack of energy on the bike. Also you can't 'bonk' in a mile, that is something that only happens after several hours of riding and fuel depletion.

    I just ate some toast and peanut butter cookies and I'm going to go out for a
    brrrrr-ride.

    As far as bonk goes...I just wanted to use it in a sentence....I didn;t think it was exact usage....
    Discipline is remembering what you want.

    Is this a recent problem, i.e. were you feeling fine and started feeling badly, or are you trying to restart/recover fitness after a hiatus? If its the latter its normal and will take time, if its the former then get a medical checkup.
