you could right a short batch script and schedule it as a scheduled task which runs every 1 minutes for a duration of 24 hours. i have such a script on one of my servers. if you want i can post it here. just right a few lines to check if the gateway is reachable and if not add a new default route. it could go something like this (bare in mind this a a quick draft):
ping 10.10.10.10 -n 1 -w 100 || route -p add 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 11.11.11.11 metric 1 & route change 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.10.10.10 metric 2
ping 10.10.10.10 -n 1 -w 100 || route -p add 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 11.11.11.11 metric 1 & route change 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.10.10.10 metric 2
