Average age on a supported tour?

I normally tour with friends but due to other commitments they can’t make it this year. I'm thinking of doing a supported Raid Pyrenean this summer but was wondering the average age of people on these trips. I’m 26 and am hoping there will be people of a similar age there. From looking at pictures on organiser’s websites i.e. Marmot Tours it seems to be mainly people older than me. Don’t mind if that’s the case as I’m sure everyone will be very friendly but does anyone have any experience of organised tours and know the average age of participants?

    On our tours participants have ranged in age between 24 and 62, with most of them in the 35-50 bracket. Don't underestimate some of the older riders though. They are usually seasoned cyclists who really know how to pace themselves to make it through a week of tough riding in the mountains at a decent average speed!
