How to tell you're addicted to SCR?

Back in the saddle this week after 2 weeks holiday and I was thinking that I may be a little, not a lot, addicted to SCR. For me the signs were:
While on holiday I didn't think about work but I did think about SCR
While on said holiday I took the hardtail mountain bike so that I could go out for a ride, ready for being back in the saddle
On said ride on the MTB (first time in 2 years), another rider on a £4.5k full-susser (I asked him) overtook me. And I had to get back past time. On trails that I didn't know. And he was a regular on said trails. Without visibly trying
I went out for a few laps of RP the Saturday before going back to work for more training
I'm disappointed that I'm 1/2 mph down on my normal average speed the ride in this week.
Am I addicted? Do I need help?

You need help.....
I would love to be addicted to SCR but I am not good enough yet, and there is not enough competition on my route, its either hairy commuters on hybrids, which i burn or road boys that burn me....
Need better tyres, then a better bike, but dont want to be going down that route..... not yet anyway!!"Encyclopaedia is a fetish for very small bicycles"0 -

I'm an addict too, none shal pass. The only one that has done me good and proper is the guy on the home made electric bike that does 25mph. Git. Still I tried the other night and I was sprinting up a fairly steep hill at 20ish mph while he just cruised away slowlySaracen Tenet 3 - 2015 - Dead - Replaced with a Hack Frame

When you've only been scalped once?
Oh no, wait. That's just how to tell you're awesome at SCR. 8)0 -
I never get scalped. This is for two reasons:
1. Folders have such a ridiculously low FCN
2. No opposition- the only riders I see on my commute (about noon & 9 pm at mo) are RLJing chav idiots on BSOs.Dahon Speed Pro TT; Trek Portland

Can't understand this SCR-ing. Couldn't give a crap if someone passed me, and likewise if I pass someone I don't think I've won Le Tour :? If they are not racing you then you haven't won anything !
If you are so intent on beating people, then why not enter races to find out how good you are. But the answer is probably 'not very'Planet-X SL Pro Carbon.

I think that's why it's called 'Silly'
(BTW I won my club TT this week - I put it down to the SCR training )0
