How big of a risk...

The Bonjour Viper family,

I would like to hear what you guys think about this.
My upper rad hose cracked right at the thermostat elbow's edge. To temporarely fix the leak, I moved the hose/crack 1/8 of an inch higher on the thermostat elbow so the crack would be on the elbow. Put tape and 2 clips back, refilled with coolant.
Started the car, let it get to operating temperature at idle, waited two fan cycle, went out for a 5 minute test ride....no leaks, temperature gage in the normal zone.
Since my new hose will not be here before June 15, since I am going crazy looking at the nice riding weather and a beautiful red 1997 R/T 10 sitting in my garage...I am wondering...
How big of a risk would it be for me to take my car out and go ride??
Would you guys go out with that type of temporary fix??
Of course I would not go for a cross country ride but for a couple of hours ride around town...

Thanks for your input
