My short journey coming to a bullfight (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

corrida

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bullfight' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'my short journey coming to a' is the wordplay.
'my' becomes 'cor' (both are expressions of surprise).
'short journey coming' becomes 'rid' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'cor'+'rid'+'a'='CORRIDA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for corrida that I've seen before include "Where people face a charge in Spain" , "Spanish word for bullfight" .)
