2026 SUPER SUPPORTER BUNDLE

Become an official Misspent Summers supporter and get your name inked into the 2026 downhill, enduro and cross-country yearbooks.

This might look like just a bundle of Misspent Summers’ stuff and things, but it’s more than that - it’s your opportunity to back independent storytelling in the sport we all love.

As a Super Supporter, you'll receive all three yearbooks, plus a bundle of our favourite Misspent Summers stuff and things.

Your support keeps our wheels turning. Without you, we wouldn’t be able to keep this little company alive.

Thank you.

*This is a pre-order bundle – available until 16th October. No items will be shipped until November, after the 2026 yearbooks have returned from the printers.

What's included?

Hurly Burly: the 2026 Misspent Summers downhill yearbook takes you into the action, with the best photography, reporting, analysis and opinion from every round of the World Cup series and the World Championships. 

The World Stage: the 2026 Misspent Summers enduro yearbook tells the full story of the EDR season. Plus – for the first time ever – we visit some of the races attracting the best riders beyond the World Cup season.

Ninety: the 2026 Misspent Summers cross-country yearbook - packed with the best photography, reporting and analysis from the entire 2026 UCI XCO (XC Olympic) and XCC (XC Short Track) MTB season. 

Limited Edition Tee: only available to Super Supporters, this organic cotton tee is built for comfort, and is just as good on the trails as it is off, made for both riding and at-home tea drinking. Plus, it's printed in Cornwall, UK, on 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton. (Size guide for the t-shirt is here).

Classic Patch Beanie: navy, olive green, mustard or grey – the choice is yours. Made from organic cotton, this'll keep the noggin warm through the colder days.

MTB randoms: a host of random MTB-related stuff and things (patches, stickers and beer/beverage matts).

Eternal glory: your name immortalised in the front of all three yearbooks.

Why buy it?

Support the sport you love: at Misspent Summers, our mission is to record the history of the sport and inspire people to ride more bikes. We put a lot of passion, energy and time into everything we do, and want to support the people out there taking photos, interviewing riders and making sure we’re up to date and informed of everything going on in racing and riding. Buying this pack means you’re helping make that possible. Thank you.

Preserve mountain biking’s legacy: we believe that print is still the best, and most future-proof way to keep the sport’s legacy alive. In 10, 20 or 300 years, we hope people will still look back at our books to find out what happened in each season of World Cup racing. Print is hard work and costly, but it’s worth every bit of effort - your support makes this viable.

Shared passion: Misspent Summers exists because we love riding bikes and following racing. If you do too – or even just enjoy dipping into our emails and online content – this bundle is a way for you to join in the fun and contribute to our work

First dibs: your copies of Hurly Burly, The World Stage and Ninety will ship before any other orders, hot off the press in November

Keeping it local: while the stories we follow take us all around the world, we're committed to keeping our production lines local; our books are all printed in Wales on sustainably sourced paper (and our t-shirts are printed in Cornwall!)

Great value: this stash of our favourite mountain bike stuff and things can make a perfect gift for you or a loved one

Don’t miss out - this offer is open until 16th October 2026.

After that, the books go to print, and your name will forever be inked in their pages.

This is a pre-order bundle so no items will be shipped until the 2026 yearbooks have returned from the printers in November.
