Special Guest: Ally’s Bar Fuels Athletes, Belongs to Boulder Start-up Community
“Ally Stacher has always been a foodie. She is always cooking up some of the most amazing concoctions in her kitchen. It was her love for food and adventure that lead her to creating ‘Ally’s Bar’. A unique blend of sweet potato, dates, quinoa, nuts, and berries combined with all natural Agave and coconut sweeteners, Ally’s bar is as healthy as it is tasty.”
Cyclists, athletes, and health “foodies” flock to Boulder streets for training and inspiration at all times of the year. So my Boulder business today isn’t actually a Boulder business at all, rather a spin-off/guest business featured in last week’s Runnerbox post. Ally’s Bar, founded and run out of North Carolina by professional cyclist, Ally Stacher, travels to Boulder frequently to network, become inspired, and promote her all-natural startup. Or maybe coming to Boulder for Ally’s Bar is just a brilliant excuse to get some quality training time in with her friends at Runnerbox?
Now that she runs a company, Ally only has time to ride her bike “a couple of hours” each day. She’d ride all day if possibile!
Ally Stacher and her husband, John Murphy, have both been passionate about nutrition and cycling for years. They live in Horseshoe, NC where they both train to compete on two of the nation’s top cycling teams, while running their business and coming up with healthy new concoctions for Ally’s bars. Let’s find out a bit more about Ally!
