Sorry to beat this dead horse.... Here is my trip:
Leg1 : 49.3 NM .6 Hobbs
Leg2 : 59.0 NM .6 Hobbs
Leg3 : 36.2 NM .4 Hobbs
How much of this can legally be logged as Cross Country Time?

If you redefine your starting point as starting at the begining
of leg two, then legs 2 and 3 can be logged, otherwise, none of
the landings were accomplished at a point more than 50 miles from
the original starting point.

Then again we have had posters in here whos aviation expertise didn't
extend past Microsoft Flight Simulator but who thought that sufficient
to post here as pilots....

And I think most of us have learnt to either a) use the "Bozo bin" or b)
ignore, such posters.

But as an aside, do you use a 'main' training manual in the USA? - such
as Fenwicks? (hope I got the spelling right - and hope that's what is
still used here in NZ - been nearly 30 years since I got my PPL).

As I'm a Kiwi and had access to Ken Fenwicks Manual when I did my PPL in
1968 at Paraparaumu . :-)
I have no idea as to the US training manuals

Well, it could still all be cross country if you start at the beginning
of leg 1. The poster didn't say that leg 3 ended at the start point
of leg 1, it's possible that at the end of leg 3, the poster was at
most a straight line distance of 145.5NM from the starting point of leg 1.

Any

Any flight where you land at an airfield different from the one you took off from can be logged as cross country. Not all cross country time can be used for the required aeronautical experience needed for additional ratings. You need to look up the rating requirement for the particular cross country time that applies.
