In this paper we give a precise mathematical formulation of the relation between Bose condensation and long cycles and prove its validity for the perturbed mean field model of a Bose gas. We decompose the total density $\rho=\rho_{{\rm short}}+\rho_{{\rm long}}$ into the number density of particles belonging to cycles of finite length ($\rho_{{\rm short}}$) and to infinitely long cycles ($\rho_{{\rm long}}$) in the thermodynamic limit. For this model we prove that when there is Bose condensation, $\rho_{{\rm long}}$ is different from zero and identical to the condensate density. This is achieved through an application of the theory of large deviations. We discuss the possible equivalence of $\rho_{{\rm long}}\neq 0$ with off-diagonal long range order and winding paths that occur in the path integral representation of the Bose gas.
