I ran out of (caloric) gas at 20 miles so I stopped and got a Gatorade and food. Need to adjust my caloric intake, it has been a while since I have done this much exertion.

I learned that lesson the hard way. Finished a ride and felt like I was going to die on the drive home. Got home and had something to eat and felt better in minutes. Now I keep energy bars in the car for refueling. If I'm going to do a 50 miler, I make sure I have something to eat half way through.
30 miles for the first ride of the year is pretty decent.
