We started off from Kampen by crossing the IJssel on this bridge. It looks like it's a lift bridge, but we never actually saw it open.
It was a windy day, and the wind was out of the southwest, which meant that we were frequently traveling into the wind. It was strong enough that we had to downshift and thus slow down, sometimes to 8 km per hour.
Much of this day's ride was on top of a dike. The land on the river side was mostly pastures.
For part of the way we had to take a detour due to construction. It seems that they are widening and deepening the flood plain, so that they can better handle high water. It's a big river, one of the outlets for the Rhine.
At the end of the ride, we took a small ferry to Hattem, another one of those sleepy towns, and stayed with a couple there.
