I don't have this issue after rides either. It is more when I've not ridden in a while and sitting around then suddenly standing. Not to the point of fainting though. I do have a history of syncope. My BP is almost always normal but my diastolic is many times in the 60's and sometimes lower.
It is something that needs to be discussed with a doctor. After 50 y.o. and certainly by 60 y.o ...... IMO......we should have a half dozen doctors specializing in different fields on our list for regular checkups and maintenance.

Happens to me too. The only time I've hit the floor was immediately following an easy 10 mile ride with a friend. I felt funny and put down my glass of lemonade - and the next thing I knew I was on one knee. After MANY periods of thing going white but not falling down, I finally stopped taking my lisinipril in hot weather, and when it's over 85F I stand up more slowly.

I notice you said you recently dropped 50 lbs but no mention of being on blood pressure pills. I had the same problem after weight loss and the Dr needed to stop the blood pressure pills. If you are not on BP meds then completely ignore my irrelevant comment.
