Bit of a problem tonight. I was about a mile from home. Wind had really picked up, and it looked like it might have blown a bunch of cardboard out of a dumpster. It was on the left side of the path and it briefly distracted me. So I didn't see the large cardboard box in the middle of the dark path until it was too late. A case of beer, fortunately empty. But I hit it around 15 mph and it shredded my front fender. Struts actually wrapped around the front axle. I was worried I had damaged the carbon fiber fork, but it looks ok. Had a little multitool with me so I was able to take things apart. Walked home in case there was damage.

This is all that's left of the front fender.
