Make this 3 pints of lager and all will be well.

electrolyte imbalance.
1.5L in 3.5h is on the lower boundary of OK. You need more, especially if it's warm. The recommendation is 500ml-1L or above. Depending on how warm it is and your sweat rate.

Stretching your neck up or out? Maybe you're too low at the front and your kinking your neck up to see? Helmet too tight? Sunglasses too tight? Do you have long hair? If it's tied up it can contribute. Salt intake? If you're only drinking water, you will just piss it out, you need a bit of salt to retain the fluids.

I get headaches after rides sometimes. Had a stinker after 3.5 hours yesterday.
Pretty sure it's not dehydration as I drank about 1.5l during the ride and about 3 pints of water in the hours after it.
Any suggestions?
