Crossword Genius

For the trip in, about one day (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ride

'for the trip' is the definition.
(eg a trip in a car)

'in about one day' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'about' becomes 're' (regarding).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'day' becomes 'd' (abbreviation for day).
'i'+'d'='id'
're' placed around 'id' is 'RIDE'.

(Other definitions for ride that I've seen before include "Travel on (a bicycle)" , "Travel, on horseback, say" , "Travel on the back of animal" , "Jaunt" , "Travel in or be carried on" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
