The hose most likely burst because of the oil in the coolant. The oil will degrade the rubber hoses and eventually cause them to break. That's why it's very important that the cooling system be completely flushed out once the head gasket is repaired.

As for the 60 mile drive, I think that would be a gamble if your auxiliary fan and blower motor aren't working. Might make it, might not. If you do decide to drive it just make sure to keep a constant eye on the temperature gauge and be ready to pull over and shut it off if it climbs above 100C.
