It's a grey area. The race don't really condone it, but a lot disagree with that from a safety aspect. You should plan your own route, but imo should be able to discuss some things to aid with safety. Wheather or not you plan your own route, you'll still have to do the pedaling.
Fyi I often discusses routes with people, though I would plan my own, to try and get infomation on areas to help safety and best routes, be that people doing the event or locals.

In terms of unsupported, are there any specific limitations on getting help with route planning, prior to the race. Or does the unsupported bit only apply once the race has begun?
