travelled

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

'went on the road' is the definition.

'time composer made' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'composer' becomes 'ravel' (Maurice Ravel).
'made' becomes 'led' (leading is a kind of making).
't'+'ravel'+'led'='TRAVELLED'

'decisions' acts as a link.
This may not be right. It may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for travelled that I've seen before include "Made a trip" , "Journeyed" , "was moving" , "Went on a journey" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
