Brief Answer:

Several possibilities

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

There are several possibilities of what might happen.
The most common is that you had a sunstroke if you were riding in a XXXXXXX hot weather.

However, if you were not riding in a XXXXXXX hot weather then the most common possibility is that you have goen through dehydration and electrolyte imbalance episode which can be avoided in the future by getting adequately hydrated with fluids as Gatorade while riding.

Another unlikely possibility is that you suffered an attack of hypoglycemia, so I would recommend that you check on your blood glucose level to exclude that possibility.

Hope I have answered your query.

Take care
