A better approach might be to require the number of checks rather than a 
max mileage - say 2 checks per a 50 which would accommodate for terrain 
issues better than an absolute mileage. For example a check at 25 and 41 
with 9 miles left might be possible where as a check at 20, 40 miles 
with 10 left might not be. You would need to work it for the other 
distances but it can be done.
