I think I'd ridden 70 miles before my first 100+ mile ride (125 miles in the end). It was just a longer day in the saddle.
As others have said, it's all about pacing, fueling and staying hydrated. The more long rides you do the more you'll understand how your body (and head) reacts/works and what it needs to keep going.
