I rode the Great Divide through Colorado last year. If the road is wide and well maintained like the ones I was on, you should have no problem doing the commute. Long-term, it's going to be hard on your bike though. More regular cleanings and liberal use of Locktite is recommended. And at this time of year, I strongly suspect you will want piping hot tea or coffee rather than ice water when you get to work!
