"Does anyone see any benefit... "
Benefit is in the eye of the beholder and since the presumed benefit is to you, only you can decide. If you ask more specifically "Does anyone see any _training_ benefit ... " then the answer is unambiguously "no". You'd be much better off having "rest days" (which doesn't mean no riding, but does mean that whatever riding you do is as close to a resting heartbeat as you can get) in the schedule so that your muscles have time to rebuild and adapt to the training load. And you'd also be better off mixing up the type of riding that you are doing so that some days you are training intensely but for shorter time/distance and other days at moderate intensity but longer time/distance.
