What is DAMAGE to a carbon fiber fork?

I dropped my bike this morning.
For the first time.
NOT my fault. I needed to bail or get squashed. I bailed.
I'm ok.

My bike...
OUCH!

I scratched the carbon fiber fork.

I can run my finger down the tube and feel it.
Just a scratch a few inches long.
Road rash.


What next?

Take it to a shop and have them examine it. They should be able to tell if it's just the clear coat, or structural.

Cheers,
