Haha, yeah, I've had similar discussions with pals who don't realise what it means to be climbing 6% for an hour. In their heads its just 'we just whizzed up on that in the car'
I have heard that staying in the High Tatras at night is also verboten because its full of bears and wolves n shit.
As for route sharing, fair enough. Hopefully there'll be less fuss with border crossings this year but who knows?

I have relatives in Australia. They're as much use for route planning as most locals who only drive places.
"Oh, yeah that's flat, it's only about a 20min ride"
Cue: 4hr climb over a fucking mountain.
The race is unsupported - sharing route tips was actively encouraged by the organisers before the last race. They want to keep it safe so were requesting border crossing info and/or dangerous roads be highlighted etc.
Depending on what they mean by High Tatras, that could be quite close to my partner's parent's place. Time to grab a bottle of vodka and head over again :)
