And that is not.

First, ifconfig is not able to show you IP routing, so please be more
specific at how exactly you've got this result.
Second, it's impossible to have a working default gateway that's outside
the subnet you're having, and it's exactly what you have here.

Third, the whole purpose of default gateway is to let you communicate
with host that are outside your subnet.
