Well... my commute is 26 miles each way (a total of 52 a day). It's doable, but it's a long time to ride daily. It takes about 4-4.5 hours a day to ride.
If your commute is longer than you'd like- maybe you could just do it a couple times a week. Try it once or twice and see if it's doable and practical.
I think if you have the time, and CAN do it, then for sure do it. Plus, it's really cool that DH would be doing it with you. And THE steepest climb? Yikes!I bow down to you.
