I need help deciding if I should.

12 Miles??? That's just a warm up. When I was working for TSU I was going 17 miles one way. Of course, terrain does factor into it. Houston is relatively flat and if you factor hills into it then distance could be an issue. I'd say ride a dress rehearsal on a weekend to see exactly how long it really takes you as opposed to GPS estimates.
