By all means, enjoy your ride. What is the point otherwise?
There are advantages to working up to being able to spin a higher cadence. Less wear and tear on the legs and making it easier to maintain steady speed up hills for starters. Keep in mind that the idea at first is to use lower gears so you are spinning faster cadence at the same speeds, not to spin the same gears faster and thus increase speed. That will come later.
