Good for you riding those ball bearings y'all call 'smooth'. I've done Baldy to Gashouse Gulch and it was nice but more technical than a beginner trail you'd find over here, because of those gravelly granite pellets. If you're riding those up or down you're doing a darned fine job, no matter how long it takes you. Keep up the good work, keep pedaling everywhere you can as much as you can and know you're doing well. The speed will follow the experience.

I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.

For me headache and nausea especially accompanied with goosebumps means dehydration. I use gatorade because I'll drink more of it than I will water and it replaces more than just the water that got sweated out. On a ride that long I'll go through a whole 70oz camelback and sometimes a bottle or two, depending on the heat, humidity, whether I'm starting out hydrated and how hard I'm working and it sounds like you are working hard.
