If your glutes are fatiguing, what do your quads feel like and what is the position on the bike. By that I mean some seat to bar drop, level seat and bar or bar higher than seat. The other thing that may help is doing bridges. Lay on your back with your feet on the floor and bridge to your shoulders. This works the glutes and hams.
