No, it's not a cinch, but if you go easy enough it's do-able.
Here's the 65km (not 60 like I first thought) map and profile.

The biggest hill is in the first few kms and it's the climb at the start of the southern expressway. Then, it's pretty much downhill for 20kms, then flat for a bit and only a couple of small hills towards the end. If you've done a few 20km rides prior, then you should be able to do this 60km ride. There is a drink stop along the way, so you can stop and rest a bit if you're feeling tired.
I did this ride last year with very minimal training due to injuries (knee problems) and haven't done much riding in the past either. It's only now that I'm starting to ramp things up a bit.
