It depends on a lot of things like how hilly it is, kind of roads, whether you were able to keep going all the time or held up by town traffic, how wet/windy it was .....

To give you a comparison, that's pretty similar to the speed I manage over quite hilly terrain (long, slow climbs rather than short, steep ones), on open roads, in dry, not especially windy conditions.
 
It took almost an hour which means you are riding at a little over 14 mph pace, I would say this is average for a beginner. Are you already somewhat fit, or just starting to try and get fit?
