Granola bars are a must-have. And not the kind loaded with caramel, chocolate chips, marshmellows, etc. I like the Nature Valley stuff because it isn't loaded with sugar. Hate to get a cramp on a hike/mountain biking expedition from sugar withdrawal.
As for other stuff:
Boil-in-the-bag rice (Zatarain's dirty rice and beans rocks!)
Salt tabs. Old Green Beret I know taught me this one. You can hydrate all you want, but replacing salt is vital.
REI and other major camping supply stores sell tons of ready-to-eat meals for this kinda stuff. A quick search of REI's site gave 125 different entrees alone!
