You don't "hitchhike a ride" you "hitch a ride."

Here is some general information. See definition 2 in particular:
http://www.learnersdictionary.com/search/hitch

hitch a ride or chiefly Brit hitch a lift
informal : to get a ride in a passing vehicle
? Her car broke down, so she had to hitch a ride/lift with a passing truck.

2 informal : hitchhike [no obj] ? He hitched across the country last summer. [+ obj] ? He hitched his way across the country last summer.
