How do you fuel a 1200km bike ride?

The question that started it all.

In August 2023, Hummingbird Fuel Co-Founders (and married couple) Lisa and Richard completed the epic Paris Brest Paris brevet in 78hrs and 30min.

But it wouldn't have been possible without Hummingbird Fuels.

Cycling has given me so much (amazing adventures, experiences that pushed my own physical and mental limits). I hope that we can give something back with Hummingbird Fuels.

From partnering with other small businesses (like getting our merch from a local artist, having our commercial kitchen be a not-for-profit).

To supporting other organizations (like local bike and run clubs).

In my day job I'm a Creative Director, which is fancy marketing speak for "I tell stories." And Hummingbird Fuel is a story I'm dying to share.

This is our chance to (hopefully) make an impact and get more people drinking their fuel, so they can fuel their fun!

Food Scientist | Professional Chef | Randonneur Cyclist

After graduating with a BSc in Human Physiology, I realized I didn't have any practical skills- so following the simple principle "that everyone has to eat", I went to cooking school.

I worked as a professional chef for a few years, the highlight was making dessert for Sir Alec Guiness- the original Obi-Wan-Kenobi. 

Sticking with the adage "that everyone has to eat", I went back to school to and got my Masters in Food Science, then worked for Kraft- mmm Jell-O, and Beachbody and Premier Protein where I focused on protein shakes.

Hummingbird Fuels is the project I've been curious about and excited to share.

I hope its simplicity and efficacy combine to not only help riders and runners meet their athletic goals. But empowers more people to engage in sport...and see what they are capable of.
