A road company is trying to build a system of highways in a country with $21$ cities. Each highway runs between two cities. A trip is a sequence of distinct cities $C_1,\dots, C_n$, for which there is a highway between $C_i$ and $C_{i+1}$. The company wants to fulfill the following two constraints: (1) for any ordered pair of distinct cities $(C_i, C_j)$, there is exactly one trip starting at $C_i$ and ending at $C_j$. (2) if $N$ is the number of trips including exactly 5 cities, then $N$ is maximized. What is this maximum value of $N$?

A fixed triangle $ABC$ is right angled at $A$, and $M$ is a fixed point inside the triangle such that $BM=BA$.
