Subject: Is this elevation correct?
I mapped my route for tonight but the elevation does not seem right to me.  61,409 ft climb over 28 miles?  I know the route is very tough and hilly.  Some of these hills are extremely steep too but the total climb does not seem possible.  That would be over 11 miles of climb over 28 total miles of travel?

That would be a monster workout!  Where's this at? The Swiss Alps?

If you reset the elevation you should get ~2,768 ft climb.  From your route manager, go into the 'edit' mode and hit the 'reset elevation' button.  Should clear it up.

Off topic:  But the spell checker flagged Marmadaddy and suggested Marmalade.  Is it trying to say he's a fruit preserve or a sweet spread?
