The best option if you have a few euros is to take a minibus from the central bus station (junction of Elizabetes iela & Satekles iela) to the village of Ķekava (about 20kms south-east of Riga). The minibus goes as far as Dārznieku iela junction along the A7 before doubling back and going into Ķekava. So, when the minibus does a U-turn on the highway, get off at that bus-stop! From there, you've got about a 2km walk south along the highway A7 to the hitching point at 100m past the large roundabout. You can try to hitch as you walk. It is worth the trouble and expense to get here as you will cut out all the local traffic and there will be a lot of long distance traffic at a slow enough speed to safely pull over onto the side road just some metres 100m after the roundabout exit.
