Simplify your packing. Cut it down to bare minimum. Pack for a biking trip, not a camping trip. If it doesn't support the biking, don't bring it. If you'd rather be on a camping trip, just accept that things will take longer to pack.

Consider stoveless camping to save time and fuss. Forget about the concept of meals. First thing you eat can be just a few Fig Newtons while packing up, which can take as little as 15 minutes. Stop again in an hour or two for a cup of muesli. And every couple of hours for tortillas, cheese, PB, nuts, dried fruit, dried meat if you like. Instant mashed potatoes and couscous will rehydrate with cold water. Ramen is already cooked and can be eaten like a big cracker. If you must have coffee, never mind.
