cyclepath

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

'events repeated regularly and aptly hard' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'track' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'track' could be 'path' (synonyms) and 'path' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'cycle' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
