The Real Story Behind Bakin’ Biker ‘26: A Year Full Of Life-Changing Adventures
Learn what fueled this year’s edition of Bakin’ Biker.
This past year has been one of the biggest adventures of my life. After losing my full-time job, I stepped into a new role as a youth mountain bike program director and coach for Team Summit —meaning I spent my summer on the trails with kids, running camps, leading trail work, and helping develop young riders for their ride ahead in life. Add in moving into a new home and welcoming our second child, and life never slowed down for a second.
Through all of it, food was my anchor. I continue to rely on a diet built around fresh, whole, seasonal ingredients—foods that support my energy, recovery, and overall health while juggling long days on the bike and even longer nights as a new parent. That steady fuel is what inspired this year’s cookbook.
The 2026 edition of Bakin’ Biker features 110+ simple, packable, nutrient-dense recipes designed to support real life in motion. Whether you’re riding daily, chasing kids, or just trying to stay balanced, these recipes help keep you nourished, energized, and ready for whatever’s ahead.
From portable ride snacks like Sweet and Salty Rice Crispy Bars, Oatmeal Date Cookies, and Figgin’ Awesome Energy Bars, to grab-and-go snacks, weeknight dinners, and versatile staples like Seasonal Veggie Frittatas, Bircher Muesli, Perfect Pancakes, Summit Muffins, and Sustainable Power Bowls, these recipes are built for life in motion.
But this cookbook isn’t just recipes. I’ve added performance fueling tips, everyday nutrition guidance, a grocery checklist, and meal-building strategies—practical tools to help you feel confident in the kitchen and on the bike.
Beyond these tools themselves, I wanted this edition of Bakin’ Biker to reflect a bigger idea and philosophy: fueling every adventure. To me, food is more than fuel. It’s what brings us together. It’s something we gather around as a family, share with friends, and give to others in need. It’s family, purpose, community, and connection.
And because this mission goes beyond the kitchen, 10% of every cookbook sale is donated to youth programs that fight food insecurity and build stronger communities through cycling. Supporting this cookbook directly supports the next generation.
I’m excited to share my story with you and hope you discover recipes you love, ideas that inspire you, and reminders to embrace the ride—even when it takes an unexpected turn.

I'm learning so much about how to fuel my body for bikepacking. There are loads of foods I have never considered to pack. Also, lots of things I can make and freeze and just grab when I'm headed out for a ride. - Jennifer B
I'm really enjoying this book. I like the focus on eating whole foods and also eating enough. It's not another diet book, but rather feels focused on healthy eating and enjoyment of food. Plus the easy recipes are key! - Nicole C.
