In 2009 Ginn took up competitive road bicycle racing, with immediate success, particularly in the discipline of the time trial.
Ginn won the 2009 Oceania time trial championships. However, in downplaying the achievement, Ginn noted two riders in the under-23 competition actually posted faster times over the same course on the same day.
In a much stronger field at the 2010 Australian national road championships, Ginn finished sixth.

Famous quotes containing the words cycling and/or career:

—Ouida [Marie Louise De La Ramée] (1839–1908)
“Clearly, society has a tremendous stake in insisting on a woman’s natural fitness for the career of mother: the alternatives are all too expensive.”
