You could probably do it all on a roadbike, if it remains dry-ish, although it depends what kind of surfaces you're willing to ride on. I've done quite a lot of the bridleway sections up to Maidstone. It was fun. The off-road sections are obviously slower going, and it won't be pancake flat, but I did on my fixiewoo and none of it was impassable.
If you want to be fastidious - I was when I did it - use something like http://www.twomaps.com/ to see which sections are bridleways/byways/roads/footpaths/etc, and avoid when and where you want. I'm a bit anal about not riding on footpaths, although it was very quiet when I did it, which was towards the end of autumn.
I would wouldn't worry about it too much. Take the roads if you don't like the look of something. I have OS Explorer maps of that area (2) if you want to go proper old skool.
