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 No2. "
Mate, thats a classic case of randonesia...but go ahead anyway. Chapeau sir. "
