I stopped for lunch (bacon cheeseburger, 2 beers and fries) about 30 miles in, and that was not a good plan either. I felt so bloated for the next hour. I think I could've gotten away with the cheeseburger, but should've skipped the fries.

Should've made another food stop, even if just a fig bar and banana every now and then.

At my club's annual ride last year, do you know what I had that I feel really helped? Dill pickles and a small cup of pickle juice from the feed stop. That replaced the salt I was losing to sweat, as I was drinking just water.
