To avoid this you need to smooth the GPS file to take out any bad data This can be done with gpx smoother and gpx magic.
I wonder if you'd get better data by plotting a route on Strava using the 'follow roads' setting. I've had Strava (or Garmin, or whoever) miss roads I was riding on, which no doubt screwed up the elevation profile.
