Your Passport
Route Rally is a virtual challenge app in which your real rides, runs and walks carry you along long-distance routes. Your passport is the world map that fills with stamps as you conquer them. Reach a country and you earn its stamp; finish a route and you earn its stamp, marked with the pace medal you earned. Every stamp stays in your passport for good.
What earns a stamp
Two kinds of stamp fill your map, and you collect them as your real rides and runs carry you along a route you have taken on as a Conquest.
Country stamp
You earn a country's stamp the moment a Conquest carries you across its border. A route that crosses a continent stamps every country along the way, so one long journey can add several at once. These build up as you go, not at the finish.
Route stamp
You earn a route's stamp by finishing it end to end. It records the pace medal from your first Conquest of that route. You can conquer it again, faster, to raise the medal. Take it on both on foot and by bike, and the stamp keeps your better result.
Common questions
Can a Casual rally stamp my passport?
No. Only a Conquest mints a stamp, whether a country or a route stamp. A Casual rally still ranks you on the leaderboard and is how you ride a route with friends and family, but it never touches the passport, however far you cover.
Do past activities count?
No. Only the distance you cover after starting a Conquest counts towards its stamps. A Conquest starts today or later and cannot be backdated beyond a day of timezone leeway, so rides and runs you recorded before it began do not fill in behind you. That rule is what keeps a route stamp worth having, because everyone holding one covered the route after deciding to take it on. Casual rallies work differently and can be backdated freely, but a Casual rally never stamps your passport however far it carries you.
Do stamps ever expire or reset?
No. A stamp you have earned is yours for good, on any plan. Your passport is never windowed to a recent period, never wiped at the turn of a year and never taken away if a paid plan lapses. What a paid plan buys is every other route: the Starter routes are free to ride as often as you like on any plan. It does not buy the right to keep the stamps you already hold, because that was never in question.
Where can I see my passport?
On the Passport page, which has its own place in the app's main navigation. Anyone signed in can open it from your profile to see the stamps, routes, medals and series seals you have earned, while your postcards and journal stay yours. Open any country you have reached to see its stamp up close, along with every route that runs through it, and one tap turns your world map into a share card you can post anywhere.
