This is the route we took in August 2017. There are hills at the start and towards the end but they OK for an easy ride. Most of the surface is tarmac but some sections of the old railway line are not so good. Quay Lane (north of Brading) is also a little rough and the worst section has been covered with loose hoggin (which is a skid risk).
We bought return tickets from the Gunwharf ferry terminal to Fishbourne and came back on the Fastcat from Ryde. As we've found before, that didn't cause a problem with the staff at Ryde.
