We describe a computational method for constructing a coarse combinatorial model of a dynamical system in which the macroscopic states are given by elementary cycling motions of the system. Our method is based on tools from topological data analysis and can be applied to time series data. We illustrate the construction by a perturbed double well Hamiltonian as well as the Lorenz system.
