When randonneurs suffer on a long distance cycling event, their subsequent inability to recall the nature of that suffering and consequently their willingness to sign up for another one (despite it being almost certain they will suffer similarly again ) ...is called randonesia ( ie, randonneuring and amnesia )
Chap No1. " What? That 1200 km brevet through the alps with 3 days of wind and rain, 2 hours sleep and multiple mechanical failures wasn't that bad at all. I'd like to sign up for the next one please "
Chap No2. " Mate, thats a classic case of randonesia...but go ahead anyway. Chapeau sir. "

When somebody parties so hard and so often that they cannot remember who they were with, where they were, or why they were partying.
I've been on an 8 day bender and I can't remember anything from the passed week. I dont know who I spent it with! Where am I!? I think I have Randonesia...
