The terrain in this patch of Australia opened up a wide variety of course options for race director Scott Sunderland to choose from as he returned to his stomping grounds of around 30 years ago to create routes worthy of a battle for the rainbow jersey. The last day of competition and it is the men’s elite race that will wrap up proceedings. Saturday it is four laps of Wollongong based circuit for the women's junior race, before the elite/U23 women's race strikes out from Helensburgh. The road races start on Friday September 23 opening with the men's junior category which takes on eight laps of the city circuit and then it is ten for the U23 men in the afternoon. The city circuit which starts and finishes in Wollongong is the core of all the road races, though for the elite men and elite/U23 women there is a start further north in the small hamlet of Helensburgh, as well as the Mount Keira loop.

The circuit for the elite races, 34.2km over two laps, varies slightly to the other races, extending further north toward Towradgi and extending the coastal run into the line. There is, however, a faster sector along Cliff Road, past the lighthouse at Flagstaff Hill just before the finish line across from Wollongong beach on Marine Drive. The course is heavily punctuated by turns, around 30 per lap for the elite races, providing an opportunity for those who relish the technical routes. Riders head back toward the coast and on a course that runs in line with the Blue Mile shared cycle pathway. Starting by the beach and heading past the Wollongong Botanic Gardens, through to Mount Ousley Rd and onto the adjacent Dumfries Ave, where riders will face a small climb, but it skips the more challenging route up Ramah Avenue to Mount Pleasant that will be taken in the road race. #Time zone of slavania trial#The time trial circuit starting and finishing in Wollongong varies across the different categories, though it provides a familiar core, both across the route for the races against the clock and the road race city circuit. The mixed relay will deliver a 28.2km finale for the races against the clock, with one lap of the 14.1km circuit for the three men from each team and one for the three women. The junior women’s race of 14.1 km on Tuesday morning (AEST) and the junior men’s 28.8km event is in the afternoon. Then the U23 men’s race against the clock of two laps and 28.8km will play out on Monday September 19. On top of that the first ever U23 women’s world title will be awarded to the quickest rider in that category who managed to gain selection to compete in the combined elite and U23 women’s category. The racing at the Road World Championships will start with a first on Sunday September 18 – the elite women’s and elite men’s individual time trials run on the same day, on the same course and over the same distance.

The Greenwich meridian time zone is 7 1/2 degrees east and 7 1/2 degrees west of zero degrees longitude. This line runs through the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Algeria, Mali and Ghana in Africa. The time convention begins with Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) which is also commonly referred to as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) being located at the Greenwich meridian. In theory time zones are based on the division of the world into twenty four time zones of 15 degrees longitude each. The world time zone map indicates the standard time zones actually observed. Most countries do not adjust their time zone observance and when they do it most likely involves small boundary changes or changes in the observance of daylight saving time. The world time zone map uses a repeating color scheme to designate the different standard time zones observed in each country.
