Default Questions about diamond distance.

I have been looking at a ridge on google earth that I've heard many
glider pilots in east tennessee use. It starts in Jasper, TN and goes
northeast for about 100 kilometers.

If I run this ridge out and back twice will that count for the 300K
diamond "declared" distance?

What if I do 3 out and backs? Will that count for the 500K diamond
distance?

What about 5 out and backs....1000K....does that count?


Scott
