Heat, hills, low hydration and high humidity are enough to tax your system on a long ride. I would guess that you pushed a little too hard for your level of fitness and you probably needed even more fluids and fuel. I got cooked pretty well on the 67 mile ride into Athens from Mt. Airy the day before your ride on BRAG. We have not had many hot days to prepare us for these kinds of days.
