how do rides be timed ending in different zone and started in another zone?
Thank youAnd put yet another way, if you started a stopwatch at the beginning of a 24-hour ride, you have until that stopwatch hits the 24-hour mark to complete the ride regardless of time zones.

You explained it simple.Thank you
Thank you.This is one reason to have a clock on the bike set to your starting time zone. Don't change the clock when you change time zones, always leave it on the starting time zone and that is your benchmark for your ride time, be it 24, 36 or more hours. The time zone changes will be represented in your DBRs, but don't factor into your overall time. On old school paper submissions, you needed to list the time zone of each DBR as well as the time on the DBR on the fuel log. That was something best sorted out after the ride was over, not during the ride. Easy to look things up later instead of worrying about it while you're riding.
But what if we cross the International Dateline?
I've actually landed before I took off.
GMT for the win, Baby!
