I asked Lon Haldeman about this, he described some rather weird things going on in his head after several days and thousands of miles with almost no sleep. Mountain climbers often hallucinate at high altitudes. I've occasionally "spaced out", though I've never hit anything because of it. It seems to me that I space out when I'm riding slowly, not when I'm riding at high speeds. Maybe adrenalin prevents spacing out. I also only space out when I'm riding alone. I'm inclined to think that being in shape or not doesn't have much to do with spacing out.
