Thanks for all the insights and comments, my question is answered and I will do an additional 50mi XC. I also appreciate the insights about logging more time is good, but it is expensive too, especially when you land at the destination airport and then turn around and come back.

Good catch, second trip was 3 hrs

Here is my situation, I am a student pilot who recently completed my two XC solo flights. Mileage on the first was 137mi round trip, the time was 1.8hr. The second XC trip was 2 hops, including a towered airport, and was 196mi, the time was 3.0hr. So from a FAR 61 perspective, I have two XC...
