how do you go 110km on a bike?

Easy. Just go for 1km and then repeat it 109 times. 110km is not a
long ride.

If you meant 110 km/h, then that's a bit more difficult. The easiest
way is to find a hill. Henk Vogels was clocked on police radar at 108
or 109 km/h just before he crashed a few days ago. He was probably
taking a breather, so 110 would have been possible.

Another way is to ride behind a motor vehicle. A well known
professional rider was alleged to have ridden between Geelong and
Ballarat behind a van at an average of 85km/h last year. He was
alleged to have said that the expression on the face of a car driver,
when he was overtaken by a bike doing 110 km/h, was something to be
treasured. This is, of course, a totally unsubstantiated urban legend.
After all, that road has a limit of 100 km/h and no cyclist would ever
dream of breaking the speed limit, would they? :-)
