Well, I usually reach this speed on a twisty descent that happens to have a relatively long straight midway through it. The rest of the decent I usually ride between 55 and 35kph depending on the turns. I'm usually a bit faster than cars at this descent, but maybe I have the advantage that I know the road by heart.
