Having done the Nocturne for 2 years running (though not this year) this story was extremely sad to read. When I was there, the security was pretty high in the rider areas which were on the inside of the course and far away from the spectator areas which were on the outside of the course, though each rider was allowed to bring in a "helper". Wonder if it was one of those helpers with legit access to the pits who helped him/herself to a bike, or did someone actually breach the security otherwise? In any case, pretty poor show. I never let my bike out of my sight when I was there as I just didn't trust the whole thing, wristbands and security notwithstanding. :( I'm actually surprised that bikes being stolen from there hadn't happened already.
