a hill too far?

Sheffield Hills lovely and deadly, especially for fat luke! haha!
Today was my first day out on my bike since i arrived and i was really really happy that i went out! The scenery and the terrain is just so freaking good for riding!
i went out of my accomdation and wanted to head to malin bridge where the local club meets on the weekends but instead made a differrent turn due to being in the wrong lane is the roundabout and went toward the peak district, which is by no means a bad place to go!
Met a kind old gentleman who was really friendly when i explained my situation! he pointed me  in the right direction and off i went! explored the place a little (see picture) rode some really nasty hills but slowly and then after reaching the lake turned around to head home!
on the way home, i saw a young cyclist which a jersey which i recognised was from sheffreccc! the local club so i chased after him! chatted with him and tagged along to meet his fren to do some hill training!
reached this little road called lodge lane! and this 15 year old guy i met just turns up the gas and i follow for a bit before getting dropped and griding to a halt!looked like a real idiot try to get off my bike becase it was so steep! later we met his friend another even faster 15 year old and they did it again, this time i went slowly and also measure the climb at an average of 13% for about 2km topping out at 16%
i have never felt so fat in my life! and now i have made some friends who will bring me riding!
YAY:))
