The last riders are rolling in to the finish of this year's Paris-Brest-Paris Audax right about now, having covered 1,200km in less than 90 hours.

Considered the most prestigious randonée in the world, PBP is certainly an event to inspire, with riders coming from all over the globe to attempt it. Here are two limited edition prints you can buy you stick on your wall and get you in the mood - fancy a crack in four years time?

"Continuing my love of cycling and poster design, it is with great excitement to present Paris-Brest-Paris", says Dan "The latest poster from my personal series of cycling posters like Classics, Echelon, Hors Catégorie and Hard Day's Night."

"PBP is a battle of mind, spirit and calves. Celebrating its 18th edition this year, I’ve created a silkscreen poster to pay homage to this audacious journey inspired by the folds of Ordnance Survey maps ubiquitous with randonneuring. Screenprinted by hand by Dan Mather Screenprint in a rich and dusky colourway of metallic bronze and dark blue."

Dan's print is in a limited edition of 50 and costs £25. It's available from Dan's online shop
